Hardships

Your ATM or the region?

Yes

Tell that to my ATM lol. Mine found numerous places to “treat” my wife. I asked for these places so I could inquire, aka not have to hardship. I was told “no.” I followed up with an email and the one place he called was a 24/7 on-call nurse and not a doctor, physician, specialist, etc. So much for due diligence and taking lengthy doctors’ notes seriously. Gotta love it.


Randomly blaming and holding them accountable to the CBA are two different things.

They’re not the approving authority and it’s improper to say anything beyond yes or no to whether it fits A99

My ATM also denied mine at the local level. Facrep said yes, he said no, got sent up and approved quickly. You should be able to bypass your ATM’s BS with help from facrep

I’ve spoke directly to my regional rep and they support my local’s decision. Doctor’s notes ignored completely.

Also not their decision. It’s up to the manager of the region.

Too bad I’ll never see it past local. I’m being told to request geographical areas that aren’t the areas my wife’s doctors require treatment. It’s very odd.

Employment lawyers won’t touch it since it’s federal. Labor lawyers who deal with this kind of stuff are rare. Most law firms that slap “employment law” are just using it as fluff for bottom of the barrel cases. Trust me, I’ve researched every avenue. I’m straight up SOL.

I’ve always wanted to start training at new facility while my wife dies.

The lengths people go to get out of facilities these days.

On a serious note I tried to find who it was but could only find the regional representatives if you want those.

My mother didn’t love me


I’m very sorry for this person. That’s terrible. But for every legit hardship there are 9 complete bullshit ones.

There is no national hardship rep. The contract leaves final determination at the RVP and the director of the service area or their designees (the regional hardship rep.). Someone above incorrectly stated that the regional rep doesn't make final determination, and they do.

I thought the Agency has ultimate say (per what everyone has told me). But, of course, NATCA has their dicks in everything.
