Union arbitration
I drive city busses. I had a medical appointment set by my employer for July 9th. They canceled it that day so i could do a first aid training and reset it to July 24th my commercial license required medical approval and was set to expire on the 28th of July. I'm sure they could have scheduled the first aid another time. They knew the dates it expired. I needed blood work and glasses for the medical approval it took a week to get it all done. It could have been done on the 9th and all good but since it expired pending medical they put me off without pay for a week for something they arranged. My union atu said they would fight to get me paid but now said the best they can do is use my paid sick time. I said no management fault they should pay right?
