 Washington Post Guild Unit -- Bulletin, Sept. 10, 2001
The Guild filed a grievance and, after the Guild filed for binding arbitration to a neutral arbitrator, the Post agreed that it was wrong on both counts and restored the employee to her former status.
But the company initially refused to remove her "unsatisfactory" rating--until the Guild argued that it was a violation of the Family & Medical Leave Act, which prohibits employees from being penalized for health-related absences covered by the law.
The Post finally settled the case, restoring her satisfactory rating and removing the negative attendance rating from her file.
