PS Documentation Request
Brothers and Sisters,
The Carrier is requesting docs for members using PS days everyday now. Please pass on the men that until this dispute is resolved, they should call telehealth when using a day. Some terminals have now 2 dozen members that have received the message.
I understand this may not be a perfect solution, but it is a short term remedy.
Thank you for your help and I appreciate all of you.

Brothers and Sisters,
I’m receiving an enormous amount f calls concerning the Carrier requesting documentation from members when using PS days.
The agreement language is clear on this matter;
D. In certain cases where an employee uses consecutive days of paid sick leave or uses paid sick leave days in conjunction with other leave, the Carrier may require employees to provide medical documentation to support the use of paid sick leave. Nothing in this Agreement is intended to change the Carrier’s existing return to work or fitness for duty processes or practices
If members must use multiple PS days or a PS day is in conjunction with another layoff then the Carrier may request documentation. The easiest, and cheapest, way to get documentation is call to the telehealth number on their insurance cards and give the answering party their symptoms. It’s $10. Members are subject to discipline of they do not provide documentation. PERIOD.
