[QUOTE="PiedmontSteward, post: 1144842, member: 42270"] No employee should ever be disciplined if they have a valid doctor's note. A trained physician's experience in the medical field will [B]always[/B] trump a UPS supervisor's. Most of the threats that result from this are usually from PT supervisors that: 1) don't understand how discipline works at a union workplace & 2) are willing to lie and threaten their employees if they believe their daily numbers will be affected by an absence. For employees with chronic health conditions (arthritis, carpal tunnel, back problems, etc.) that can flare up after being diagnosed and likely resulted from the wear and tear on the body from working at UPS, I always recommend filing FMLA paperwork. This gives PT employees who worked at least ~375 hours in the previous an additional "bank" of 6 weeks per year. [/QUOTE]
