[QUOTE="keista, post: 519628, member: 11965"] in my opinion Signorina has the best grasp of the law. You mentioned something about them seeing you and not letting you back? THAT would be illegal. If you are still ill, but the Dr says you are OK to do your job, but the employer doesn't like that? That firing would be illegal. The whole point of the family leave law was to give ppl a fair chance to get healthy or their family members healthy but still have the job to return to. Not every extended illness lasts forever. This cannot be an indefinite kind of thing. I'm guessing if you ask for more time, they will ask how much more? A week, a month, do you know? It can't just keep going on. I say listen to the advice of the union rep. It's your best course of action and hopefully will end up with the results you want. [/QUOTE]
