_______________________
If you have a condition that may be covered under the Family Medical
Leave Act you should submit the medical certification. Certification
must be in conjunction with an absence for a covered condition. The
Union has a one page form that can be used instead of the three page
form the Postal Service sends you. Certifications are frequently returned
because of missing information so you must be persistent. You can reach
the FMLA office at (901)521-2375 if you have questions about what information
is needed on a certification. Anthony Graham is the FMLA Coordinator
for your local Union and he can be reached at 589-2617.
If you are injured at work or have an occupational disease you should
file a claim under OWCP. You should notify your supervisor immediately
if you are injured at work or feel you have an occupational disease
such as carpal tunnel. Your supervisor should give you a form CA-1 or
CA-2 depending on what type of injury you have. Parts of the form must
be completed by your supervisor, your doctor, and yourself. If approved,
OWCP will pay for medical treatment, mileage and lost wages depending
on the condition. You may also be eligible for other compensation including
schedule award payment if you have lost use of part of your body or
have a permanent disability. OWCP is administered by the Department
of Labor and can be complicated. Ron Peaks is the OWCP Coordinator for
the Nashville Local of the APWU and can be reached at 885-2833 or 262-7036.
