YOU ARE NOT ALONE - A companion online community discussion board for The Mental Illness Happy Hour podcast with Paul Gilmartin

Hello
Hope everyone is alright or okay for you all

What do you do if your still on the "hot seat" for being absent too much; worse than last year. I am in a union job so it is mainly safe but
still i am the only one earning any money paying all the bills at home the house and car etc. etc. I am worried again have to provide a psychiatrist note i have used all of my sick days way too many. Now i feel that i can't ever have a sick day again; i don't know who to trust at work. I feel like they want
to get rid of me. Any advice?

Hi! Sorry to hear about your troubles!

Up front, I know absolutely nothing about unions, so forgive me if this is naive. Do you have a union rep? Is it something you can discuss with them? Maybe they can offer advice or at least tell you what the company can & can't do to you?
