So I work for a very very strong union one of the largest I am a casual employee as the members are members. I was on B board and I have been a casual of the union going on 8 yrs now. Nov. 2020 I broke my right wrist not at work I have all documentation records X-rays etc. I also want to make note that I have severe Crohn’s disease during this time it was covid so I was not able to attend work I also want to miss note that our work froze our boards meaning no one can move or fall back that was in may 2020 so I do have an email from our secretary treasurer stating he did not need any documentation from me at that time. So I was ready finally to go back to work March 30, 2021 but unfortunately I was in the middle of a 3 car pile up March 29, 2021. I have provided again all documentation X-rays required to my employer thinking I was and still should have been on B board because I have provided all or do I thought proper documentation to my employer but as I was informed I was missing one dr. Note for November 2020 so they dropped me back a board!!? I have all notes X-rays from my wrist I also new that my work froze boards so there is that factor also.
So if I didn’t hand in one dr note but have done so for everything else all other months also was still covid then can my work I guess demote me by dropping me down a whole board position?! Because I’m getting ready to go back to work coming in a couple months and i with being off for a very long time now was needing hoping I was still by my crew I started with for the support also since I still should have been on b board that means I’m that much closer to moving up to A board where there is job pick and benefits.
I'm going to email you directly about this.
