Anyone have any dealing with the Department of Labor or Postal Service in refererence to work related injury?

Currently the postal service is in the process of what they call national reassessment process–or out-placement. Which is really where they no longer offer the injured employees jobs or take their current modified jobs away. In doing so–they turn us back to the Department of Labor for rehab. Which really only (according to the Department of Labor) gives us 90 days to “learn how to do a resume, learn how to conduct an interview and FIND a job in the real world and then we are terminated–yes I did say terminated from our jobs with the postal service. With all loss of benefits. Now, my question –is just how legal is this?? We have actually given our bodies and years of our lives for this job and we are treated like this? I have been told that I am not even closely able to retire under any type of disability–that was by the Department of Labor. My injury is a permanent back injury and my doctor states that I do have permanent restrictions. So, help will be appreciate
