Aren't some States NOT allowed to ask for the above request per State specific laws??
If my memory serves right, in the State of N.J. (IE-EWR Base), the employer is NOT allowed request such a thing as mentioned in the above post......Anyone confirm??

First of all, who on sick list checks their UAL email? Second, I'm pretty sure that I am protected by federal law from having to discuss my illness with my employer. Anyone have a statute handy?
Last, with the schedules they are forcing right now, why are they surprised that people are getting sick? 4 on, 1 off, 6 on, 2 off, 4 on, 1 off, 5 on will make you sick... and tired. The only thing I haven't figured out is whether there will be 1 or 2 fatigue calls for me during that stretch.
