I need some help in understanding why some employees of USAirways are being
rejected intermittent FMLA for legitimate chronic ,lifelong medical illnesses that are
under doctors care. There seems to be various reasons that I'm not sure is fare
or legal. I have been in contact with the Dept. Of Labor,but no reply as of yet. I
have some questions.
1. Is it true the IAM won't get involved because it is not a contractual issue?
2. Is it true that nurses are making decisions as to weather they are approved?
3. Does the CWA have a class action law suit against the company for violation
of FMLA rights.
4. What is the formal process the company use's for approval?
5. Are other labor groups having similar problems?
I realize there is abuse by some so don't go there. Any comments would be
appreciated.
Thanks"a friend of Bill W."
