Tell us has your experience with this business or person been good? What's this?
I just found this website and the stories of Honda employees. I want to speak up ,too. I worked at Honda for 12 years and was part of the "team" as was preached to us "One Team". I can say from my experience that it seems as soon as someone becomes injured at Honda and cannot perform like fast fresh meat they will be exiled from the "team" one way or another. Restrictions are like the plague. Either way you hurt=you pay....and dearly.

I have been Fighting back against Honda since 2002. My work injury was never questioned by Honda or any of the so called Independent doctors. My back injury was immediate and obvious. My injury occurred in an area in the auto plant that was set up as a temporary home while construction was underway. As a group, we complained often that our temp home was not set up to let us do our jobs safely. No one cared enough to make a change. I am not the only injury from that area.

I have learned more about Honda, Worker's Comp and the politics of Ohio than I can stand. As an average citizen I would be mad to learn that the people we elect to serve us cannot or will not. It is all about the dollar. I believe that Honda spends more money fighting me than they would spend to "fix me". I would also be mad to find out Honda was playing me for a FOOL by making it look like they are wanting to help the communities and care by sponsorships, donations and such. I would also be mad to find out that the BWC still isn't cleaned up after the promises.

As an injured former employee I am frusterated, angry, and disgusted that I have learned that this is the way it has been for years and nothing real has been done to make a change. This self insured employer has the power and money to fight until they break you--money or sanity- or BOTH. It seems that anyone in authority that could stand up for the little guy doesn't. Why? I think it is out of fear. Honda has used fear as a tactic against people before. Remember all the talk of Honda leaving Ohio if a union got in????

I was also "seperated" from employment while on the injured program. My lawyer says it is a very fine line that Honda is walking when it comes to this. I would like to see this line defined. It seems that injured workers have no rights in this Money Owned system. I have heard that about 50% of the calls to Gov Strickland's office are about Workers Comp---I say great! Maybe we should go for 80% to make sure we are heard. Although, I believe we are heard --just ignored.

In case there is any doubt I have had to fight for everything that any of my doctors have ever wanted to do to help me. Almost everything has been denied, then 2 hearings worth of Fighting back. I often have to go without meds and treatment for long periods of time. I have missed playing with my kids and so much more. Honda has robbed me of my 30's.

A couple days ago, my neighbor was sent notice that Honda was taking her to county court in an attempt to stop paying her Temp Total. It just goes on and on......They never stop fighting! Neither can we. And BEWARE : they are watching!

Please, post any comments you have about this report.

Also they are trying to get somethings changed and we need to be there for the Injured Workers of Ohio.There will be people there for the SI company's trying to get more things in that are in favor of them and for them.Who will be there for the injured workers if we don't show up. I will tell you NO ONE!! There is NO ONE for the injured workers of Ohio at self-insured company to turn to for help.Its the injured workers themselfs taking on these muti-million dollar company's who can torture there injured workers to the point of ALMOSTBROKEN.com We can make a change if we work together for it is TIME FOR A CHANGE OHIO!!

Self-insured company's injured worker of Ohio Awareness Rally

#3UPDATE EX-employee responds

Wed, January 14, 2009

My opinion and facts Self-insured company's injured workers of Ohio will be holding a rally at 1 South Limestone St.Springfield Ohio. This will be held on the day after Presidents Day Feb17 09. All injured workers of self-insured companys are needed at this rally to tell there story's of the unconstitutional and unlawful laws that they have to deal with when injured at a self-insured company. This will show the people of Ohio and America that the BWC & IC of Ohio and other states laws that are in place for the self-insured company's are unlawful and unconstitutional and in more faver of the company's and not the injured workers of Ohio. Please bring your signs for the rally and your story on paper so when news center 7 does a story on our rally we will have all the information they need to prove our points on these unconstitutional laws that are in place at BWC & IC of Ohio. I will have a list of the rules that are in place that the self-insured company's have at the BWC & IC that are unconstitutional to the injured workers of Ohio.If you wish to do the same that will be fine the more the better for I may have missed something that you didn't!! I feel this rally will be the only way we the injured workers of Ohio and America will be heard.I hope the President Obama see's our rally and does what he said for it is Time For A Change!! Also if these company's where to have to pay for the injury's the workers got at work instead of them being forced into SSD,SS would not be in the shape it is today!! As it is today the tax payer are paying for the injured workers not the self-insured company's that injured the workers!!

Corp.Torture to injured workers of Honda

#4UPDATE EX-employee responds

Tue, November 18, 2008

My Opinion, We have been fighting back too for 12 years .We too have been fired while on med leave Per doc. orders yet where fired anyway. Our Lawyer said the same thing it is a fine line. Yet nothing is done on this .We too have went to Gov.Stricklands Office and complained about this unfair and unconstitional law the self -insured company's have. How can a injured worker who is injured at work then fired while on medical leave and has no money to fight the Muti-million dollar company, have a fair chance with the laws as they are. All the company has to do is fight you on everything you try to get done on your case. Then like us we had to file bankruptcy and watch as we start losing everything we have. We too are being taken to common pleas court to get a IC ruling overturned because Honda didn't like the IC ruling on our case that we won at the IC hearing.( Honda appealed all the way through the hearing and lost) So they are taking us to court. Once again how is it possible to win with the laws clearly in favor of the self-insured company's This is clearly a Corp. Torture game they are playing with there injured workers and Honda is not the only corp. self-insured company doing this its like they have a play book on how to torture there injured worker to the point they give up and live with there pain and injury they got at work. I find it strange that a pet or animal that you have in your care that is not taken care of has more rights then Humans do. If you don't take care of your injured pet you can be put in jail, yet when Honda doesn't take care of there injured worker they don't go to jail why is this going on in America? We work like animals we are treated like animals yet we haven't the same rights as animals do. For all injured worker who have been through this Corp. Torture game here is something to check into that they don't want you to know. You can file a claim on your case if you are treated like us it is called Dysthyic Disorder (Stress disorder) for the stress and torture they put you thought. This was just told to us this year and is helping alot.They will fight you all the way but keep fighting it will help you! For the injured workers that are having trouble getting their employers to pay for their medication, the Injured Workers Pharmacy,LLC 9 Branch St,Lower Level, Methuen, Ma 01844. Phone 1-888-321-7945 Fax 1-800-497-4276 is now paying for my medication with no more Hassle. Your Attorney can set you up with them and then you call them for follow up info, then you give your Doctor IWP info then your meds is Delivered to your door a few days before you need a refill. I hope this helps other family's so they don't have to go throught the Torture we did! They say Change Is Coming lets all hope so for we need it!!!
