Another reason Dyncorp sucks...

[StrawberryGal]

He shouldn't have any problem getting it. He never really indicated he wasn't on it, just that they haven't put in and another position. He won't get any job, you only go up there not down so I don't think that's happening.

When my husband was returned to work under limited duties. He's an aircraft mechanic. DynCorp put him in the shop to answer the phones and handle paperwork until he was released to return back to work normal. He didn't have any trouble at all. I'm thankful that DynCorp worked with him to follow the doctor order and allowed him to work in the shop until he was able to work on aircraft again.

His Dr didn't give him a full release so he can't come back to work till the Dr does, which sound like that's not happening. The company will wait for 6 months and then get rid of him. He should be able to get short term while he is out. It's not much but it will help.

Dyncorp has to find him another position with the company. He is their employee and because he was released, with the exception of heights, they are required to find him a job that is comparable in pay without the duty requirements that he is not able to preform.

I have to agree with Strawberry, there is something that is not being said here....If he is claiming the ADA as a reason for them not terminating him, they may have caught him on a bad piss test, which means by law they have to offer him rehab(and there is a time period for his response depending on the company)....if he refuses this, they can terminate him

Do you realize that your boss will most likely read this? Any chance you had at getting any kind of postion probably went out the window. Your in a union you should go talked to them. They are suppose to help you. Also anytime you get hurt at work they piss test you. You probably failed the test and they are just waiting for sometime to go by then let you go. Sorry theres no hope with dope!

I'm curious about this. Can you provide a link to reference both the other position and rehab?

I don't know that is the Group Sups deal. My Group Sup most likely would have not let him hang out in the shop. There was nothing to do in the shops at the hanger I worked at.

No they don't have to find him another job. He is no longer qulified to work the job he was hired for. They will not put someone in a lower position even it they wanted it. If he's not qulified to do a job with a higher rate they won't move him up.

I'm curious too where you get this info. If he is no longer able to perform the job he was hired for, they are under no obligation to find him another position.

That could have something to do with it.

You are right Mike, and you know I hate to have to tell you that. They no longer have to keep him.

 

[tomcatter]

SO you do smoke weed. And you work on aircraft? I'd fire you.

Yep, and im pretty damn good at fixing airplanes too.
Would you fire someone who uses vicodin for chronic pain?

 

[Baja28]

Vicodin is LEGAL!!! Companies have a drug policy and you violated it. You should be terminated immediately and it sounds like that's what's about to happen.

Dyn must of liked him because if they don't like you they don't work with you!

If that were the case im sure I would have heard about it by now...
Allright, Im not gonna let this turn into another pot thread. I should have left that part out. My mistake, I tend to forget im in ultra-conservative land.

 

[tomcatter]

Damn, I missed the "So says the pothead." remark.
If I wasnt any good at it I dont think I would have made it this far in life.

What is so tough about NOT smoking weed for the sake of your job?


I did some contracting with a company down in FL when I was designing pool enclosures. At the time, NONE ofthe companies drug tested, and there was a high pothead ratio in the industry, LOL. Well, this one company decides to start testing to get better Workers Comp rates. The employees were told that a + would NOT get them fired, but that the company would help them quit. Testing day came, most peed clean... one of the few who didn't was the dude that ran the cutoff saw for cutting the parts... he was paid by the job, and made over $100K the previous year just bringing a saw blade up and down. He quit. QUIT. Because he peed +, and didn't want to give up his weed.

So weed was more inportant to him than an easy six figure income. :shrug:

He'll likely never see that kind of money again. I don't get it.

WTF is so important about weed?

What if the pot is dr ordered? It's legal then?

 

[Baja28]

Not in Maryland.

Even if it's legal, companies can (and will) write work policies that you can't be stoned at work. They can even include that provision for prescriptions that have an effect on a person such as vicodin.

I'll be damned if I want someone working on my plane that is stoned!! Would you?
Drinking booze is legal but you can't be drunk at work, why should anyone be allowed to be stoned?

 

[nomoney]

I don't own a plane :kicksrocks: Thanks for reminding me that your life sucks way less than mine.

Dude you smoke weed and work on multimillion dollar aircraft in hazardous enviroment at that, come on, zero tolerance to drugs. Your not an 18 year old who doesn not know better. I would let you go also, we dig our own graves.
