If he's asking for any money up front, the case is probably not worth pursuing.

Dog at NYCC was a regular Sniffer McSchnoz. Nobody's getting any malicious material past him.

Of what?

First, they have to find a valid cause.

Apparently, the bosses are going to have to start caring.

Except the lawyer who accepted my appointment in this matter.

I don't have a superpower, so I delegate. My color scheme is black and yellow.

That is shitty in such regard... traditionally locking the barn AFTER the horse has run off, in terms of taking any meaningful safety measures.

Just call it Colostomy Day. Serious... I'm so happy at times that I don't have Mondays off. It would just be one more flat out fucken wasted day, with more than half the businesses closed and the buses not running on full schedule for a "holiday". Give me two days dead center of the week so I can go out get things done.

When lighter materials are both available and affordable, such action is not my job. I'm not a fire fighter or a pro football jock. This is their negligence.

Yes, I'm very well aware that the meetings are not a forum for making "impotent demands". I merely suggested that there is a safer and more practical method to getting the work done, provided that the materials being handled were lighter in weight. There is no difference in cost to the company for switching to the lighter material. As for "letting the bosses do their job", book keeping is hardly their only function. They also have an obligation both legally and morally to ensure work place safety.

There is no line these days.

How many times a day can you lift eighty pounds over your head or push a four hundred pound dumpster up a steep ramp?

The heavier things here are carried in by other people. Like, when I bought a dresser last summer, I paid the men extra to get it up the stairs. Since then, I had wheels installed on it in case I may need to move it.

Doc says there is no other possible cause.

Unions aren't proactive in such matters.

It was unsafe and now I have the injuries to prove it. The bosses had been warned.

Suffice it to say that my two herniated discs could have been prevented. The lifting action over the past four years was not necessary. Lighter material was both available and cost effective.

Of course not. I'm a Q ball because I'm old.

Precisely.

SSI is means tested and is reserved for people who are disabled and do not have enough work credits for SSDI.

The minutes are supposed to be on record at every meeting. Every meeting for the past four years, I have raised the same subject.

The lawyer has already responded to my email and set up an appointment with me. He's got at least some interest.

An employer who deliberately creates an unsafe working condition that would inevitably lead to an injury... and ignore four years of corrective suggestions? It's too late for the employer to fix it now. The resulting injury is now medically documented.
