Re: Hospital AGAIN! But you'll never guess why!

Hello Denise,

I have friends who are teachers and my understanding, at least in Indiana, is that teachers have a union. Perhaps your union rep should have a conversation with your HR drone. It does sound like she is violating your rights under the ADA provision. I would hope that your Principal would go to bat for you as well especially if you have worked in that district for awhile. You strike me as a teacher who would be beloved by her students and parents. Wonder what the parents would say/do if they found out you were being treated this way? Would be interesting if this somehow leaked out. Take good care of yourself during this time. And let's hope your state has a teacher's union.

Take care,

Jackie
