Add Comment Question: I have been off work due to illness since July/19. I work for the government in a union setting. Friday after my grievances have been denied we received the arbitration case date. Today I received a letter from my employer threatening to get back to work next week or be terminated, is this legal? Answer: It’s an issue you have to deal with through your union. They are the only ones that can represent you in this regard. Your Comment * Your Email * Your Name * Your City Note, your name, city and email is not displayed on the website.
