Primeis agenst people who had disabilitys

I agree with BHW here--I doubt thats a fight prime will want to challenge. Good luck to ya

 

Your friend ain't real bright. He should have kept his mouth shut when he was asked about physical disabilities.

The correct answer is:

"HECK NO DOC, I am in perfect health. I can do ANY job you throw my way. I am READY WILLING AND ABLE TO WORK!" <--- Read this sentence ten times in a row, as it applies to ANY job you ever apply for.

Of course they didnt hire him LOL. Honestly, would you want to hire somebody that is a disability claim waiting to happen?

Seriously, how hard is it to figure this kinda #### out? Do you honestly think just because your buddy had knee surgery Prime is required to hire him? Stop thinking like a welfare queen and walk a mile in their shoes.

BTW, spel cheekers are free...

 

You [he], doesn't need a lawyer. You [he] should just go down to the Unemployment Office, EEOC, or whatever it's called, and talk to them.
It's free, and effective.

 

A company protects itself by preventing claims. Now, someone who has already been through the disability system and been granted a waiver, sure... the company is covered.

Perfect example - worked with a guy in Spokane for a while, he employed an older guy - sharp guy, real clean, etc. We were talking about a load that had to be tarped - we usually avoided tarped loads because in that area, it was usually lumber and didn't pay well.

The guy told the boss that he didn't like throwing tarps because he had a shoulder and back injury a while back... he then told the boss that hell be ######, he'd keep working until it blew out, then go on workers comp. He wasn't realizing, I'm sure, that his CURRENT employer would be on the hook for the injury, claim, and payments.

He was asked to depart.

On another note - the disabilities act does not provide blanket allowances for anyone to do any job. Once your friend would have gone through the waiver process, roll with it. Until then, most trucking companies aren't set up, in any way, to handle someone with a disability who hasn't gotten a DOT waiver to drive.

 

i think what prime was looking at was recent employment for past years and maybe not disability---mind you the way threylook at recent employment sucks as well---
tell him to go and try elsewhere---no big loss in not working for prime

 

Good thing they don't discriminate for spelling and grammar!
