As long as they keep helping you that's all that matters. If you don't get positive results file a complaint with the EEOC.

It is funny how people jump to conclusions on what they want to be true and not what was really said. You clearly said that your union was going to do what they can to help you and these ignoramouses come up with something completely different.

Phlebotomy Service Representative at Phlebotomist Quest

I got fired from Gulf Coast Regional Blood Center for the same thing. My best friend past away and I was scheduled to work on his burial day and they refused to give me the day off because it was not a blood relative... Like WTF!!!! After providing and coming in on my days off when they needed help/ coverage and I cant go say my goodbyes to my bestfriend one last time??? That says a lot about that company and defenitly don't want to be a part or associated with an organization that doesn't show compassion for its own employees.

sorry to hear that i have a question do you live in either texas or louisiana? the reason i ask is because both of these states are what they call Right to work states . that meaning a employer can fire you for any reason they want.
