Mr. Chairman, when this problem was identified, nearly every employee in the centralized mail remittance center work group suffered from some form of musculoskeletal or cumulative trauma disorder. Today, there are no reported cases of repetitive motion illness. For the business it means money. The return on investment is great. With fewer illnesses and injuries, productivity is up.
Less money is spent on medical management and workers' compensation.
For the employees, they can come to work and not worry about being injured. There is no loss of earnings. They are able to have a pain free life both on and off the job. They can participate fully in their family life, without limitations. These things cannot be measured in dollars and cents.
