Anyway, I was talking to the agent there and he asked me where I worked. I told him, "The Post Office". He then told me that he gets more calls and complaints from Postal employees than from any other business. He then tells me that if I needed anything solved, then I'd have to see my steward. I told him that I am a steward and that is why I needed a hard copy of the FMLA Regulations.
The Agents of the Department of Labor can, but won't investigate the Postal Service for violations of the FMLA Act. The problem is that these are U.S. Government agencies we are dealing with. If the Department of Labor recommends that the USPS be cited for violations in the law, then they turn the case over to the Justice Department for prosecution. When the Postal Service finds out they are being taken to court, they call the Justice Department to represent them. So the Justice Department ends up fighting against itself and they won't do that.
So who can you turn to fight the USPS when it comes to FMLA violations, ME! Your friendly, co-working, Union Steward. On this site I'm going to try to share some of the things I've learned about FMLA from fighting management for the past 9 years as a Union Steward. I hope it helps.
