We recently had several investigations concerning lost work days. Some of the guys who missed days had doctor's excuses for the time lost. Like it mattered, they got put under the heat lamp just the same.

An employee asked me last night if the carrier should have been demanding that he tell them exactly why he went to the dr and what treatment he received. I asked him if the union rep objected to these questions and he told me that our rep did not spend much time with it. I, and him too, assume that if the rep did not object then it must be legal to force an employee to give out his patient-Dr information.

Is this legal? Do we have to disclose all of our current medical information to company officials, if it does not pertain to our ability to perform our work?

btw: this was not exactly hospital stays. Just ordinary sicknesses that required a single missed day.
