Son is having issues at sort center
My son who is 5 feet tall has been working in a sort center. He is the hardest worker I know. Every day for the last month he has been coming home, scratched up, sweat/salt, stains all over his shirt, soaking wet hair. He can barely move when he gets home.
Today he came home and broke down crying. I asked him what’s going on and he said that he has went to his management and the management above that management and told them that he cannot physically do the job that he’s doing, which is getting packages that are close to 100 pounds off of stove shells that are higher than he is tall.
He said nobody will listen to him. He has went to wellness and safety and they kind of put their hands up in the air and say “oh well”. He’s a really good kid and I feel like they’re trying to push him out the door. He’s the type of guy that goes to work and doesn’t talk to too many people. He just does his job and comes home. He has a heart of gold and I hate to see him like this.
What are his options? I told him to go to human resources to talk to them and maybe get some paperwork for an accommodation. What else can he do? It really hurts my heart to see him crying and upset at 23 years old. Any help is greatly appreciated. My DM’s are open if you would rather send me something privately.
I feel like he’s being discriminated against because of his height. Please, please help me out here. Thank you very much.
