Hey All,
My mother has been working at the same job for 10 years and is having a major problem. The company has replaced some of their main machines with new industrial ones. Her job now requires her to bend over and pickup heavy objects ALL DAY. She is now getting back problems after only 3 days! What can she do? She is contemplating getting a new job, as her work told her this is the job and to deal with it. (they have also changed mgmt and have no respect for their employees) She is getting close to 60 years old and cannot perform this manually exhausting job that these new machines have introduced
Can she quit and go on EI while she looks for a new job
Volunteer quit with reason = your duties have changed significantly;
This would mean heavy lifting and strenuous bending where as before it would not require nearly as much.
