so…. my company has to literally be sued, before they’ll pay for an injury

K so, just a little rant, a year ago, a guy lost part of a finger in an accident at work. Not only would the doctor not give him proper time to heal (he couldn't miss any work or it would be a lost time injury and the company can't have that) the guy had to have part of his finger amputated.

Yeah the work comp surgeon left him awake, company couldn't spring for general anesthesia, I guess.

Another woman has been injured since last April. The company made her work on her injury causing it to get worse. We told her to get a lawyer and she did. She needs surgery because all of the walking and working they made her do, created scar tissue, that she has to have removed. So they FINALLY scheduled her surgery, postponed it TWICE and then had the audacity to ask her lawyer to dismiss the suit because they had surgery scheduled. The lawyer laughed and hung up. Corporate greed in America. It has caused fear among our coworkers, to come forward with work related injuries. Is this how all factories are? Are they all so evil and corrupt like this? I'm losing faith in the entire American workforce.
