I don't know what world you are living in, but it is difficult to fire a union employee. In over 20 years I can count on two hands those that have been fired. Of those at least half of them got there jobs back, a few with back pay. There termination reasons, were stealing, violence against another employee, attendance and drug use. Drug use no longer gets you fired on the first offense...and the other reasons were all fought successfully. It would not happen in a nonunion group.
Well, I found out today from the fa who had this happen to her and the company has violated 3 articles in the CBA when they terminated her for attendance. So, even know with her illness and yes she can perform all functions of the flight attendant job with it, she is going to get her job back.
jim...
Although we have never met, the ADA section the covers her illness will get her job back. The company was required by law to accommodate her in reducing her absenteeism and they did not do it. So, that alone will get the company in trouble. The companies legal team may not be all that, since they didn't know this was under the ADA.
This case will set precedence for anyone in the company who has the same illness as she does.
