I just spent an hour or so reviewing the newly published FMLA regulations (thanks
for the link, Glo) and not surprisingly the changes are almost entirely to the detriment
of employees seeking FMLA protection. Particularly onerous are new regulations that
increase FMLA certification and recertification burdens on employees, as well as new
regulations that allow direct contact by the employer with employee physicians -
WITHOUT the employee's consent or knowledge. We all know that USPS management is
going to run wild with that one! There is some other ugly stuff, too, and I hope
that the NALC's response will include providing the necessary tools so that NBA's
and individual Branches will be able to provide training for stewards and Branch
officers that oversee Contract enforcement.
The FMLA had been a prime target for the conservative Bush administration anti-worker
goons who took over the US Department of Labor in 2001 and who had been wreaking
havoc on American workers and on labor unions ever since - that is until January
20, 2009. However, enormous damage has been done, and it will take many years, even
under the best circumstances, to repair much of it. This is especially likely since
the political party now out of power has promised to obstruct the restoration of
American worker's rights any way they can do so, any time they can do so. Elections
do have consequences, something to remember when those same obstructionist Congressional
Representatives as well some of those obstructionist United States Senators are up
for election in November 2010.
