Employment law, help with a grievance?
Talk with your union rep and see what kind of representation they intend to send with you to the meeting. If it is an experience union negotiator let them do the talking. If I were to guess most likely HR will say that they used a legally signed permission form to request the medical records and have not initiated any new request documents since your retraction of permission. Your union rep will probably demand that any and all information obtained regarding your medical records be destroyed and not used in decisions regarding your employment. You should tell your doctor you have withdrawn your consent to provide the company with your medical information and not to send any records or answer any questions about your medical condition, treatment, or ability to work. This meeting should only be about your medical records so confine your comments and answers only to that topic. Any thing you say will be part of the record so think carefully before you answer any questions or make any statements. If you do not have confidence in your union rep, hire an experienced attorney. It may cost a little, but may save your job and get you a better deal. Good luck The PracticaL Mentor.
