At the restuarant this morning, I ran into a nice old guy, talking about his wrist problems. He fracture one wrist, had sergury, returned to work, as a pump mechanic. HE starts having trouble with his good wrist, complains to the boss, and his doctor. Nothing is in writing. He schedules sergury, then post-pones sergury, because of the busy season. When he finnally does sergury, it is past some one year time limit. It is an unaccepted condition. They settle for 40 grand, 10 going to his lawyer. Now no work, he's over 50 can he retire? I passed this e-mail on to Maria Carreher, his problems sound remarkably like my own, except we haven't settled yet. Any body know anything about this, shouldn't he be able to retire? |
