Wednesday, I received a registered letter telling me to send back my G.M. card.It didn't matter that the G.M. doctor told me they didn't have a lighjt duty job and gave me paper work for the specilist.G.M. doesn't give warning letters any more.Thank god the forms were finish and I was picking them up Thursday.I called the union at 7A.M. and picked up the forms at 9A.M.Labour relation questioned me for an hour and a half,lol.I still have a few thinks to get corrected,but was told to get my appointment changed or return before I get reaccessed.Brent j..

You were fired?

I hope things work out. I've had a heck of a year myself but I'm still plugging away. This could be an opportunity for something better and different. Good luck. :cheers:

Yes,I was fired but they reinstated me on the condition I return to work on Oct.20,the day before I see the specialist.I'm calling the G.M. doctor on Monday to see if I can have the specilist change the date by two days on the forms in order to have me accessed first.If not,I'll try and get another appointment a week early??Highly unlikely though.
Ian the union said the same think that G.m. is getting mean and lean.They would rather fire employees with 27- 29 years than pay the severance package in a year and a half.
It's a shame their's not much time left.Instead of getting along their tring to bully people to have a reason to get rid of them.
I know I'll be having a long talk with the specialist.Brent j..

I know that you consider this a mixed blessing Brent. They can't fire you without just cause so I know that things will definately work out some how.

Big company's can do wtf they want. Yeah we can take em to court to fight it, but who are we. You make 50 grand a year, they make BILLIONS Who can afford to fight them and they know it.

I lost my job a few years ago to a car accident. There was no way i could do the job i used to do at the plant but there was other things i could have done but they would not accomidate me. Unless i could come back doing the job i left doing i was outta luck. I fought it till the bitter end with the union. Final word was, due to the nature of your injuries we no longer have a position for you and do not feal it would be a safe situation to have you employeed here anymore.

Fine, I hated the $hithole anyway and it worked out in the long run. I am much happier now. Still a joke though.

It's a mess.The specilist has me returning the day of my appointment.In order to return I have to get cleared prior by the G.M. doctor.I have no idea weather I'm suppose to return to light duty or regular work.If he had put a later date to reaccess me and time to fill out the forms everything would have been cool.Hopefully he'll be able to change the existing forms.Brent j..
