          If you have a condition that may be covered under the Family Medical 
          Leave Act you should submit the medical certification. Certification 
          must be in conjunction with an absence for a covered condition. The 
          Union has a one page form that can be used instead of the three page 
          form the Postal Service sends you. Certifications are frequently returned 
          because of missing information so you must be persistent. You can reach 
          the FMLA office at (901)521-2375 if you have questions about what information 
          is needed on a certification. Anthony Graham is the FMLA Coordinator 
          for your local Union and he can be reached at 589-2617.
          If you are injured at work or have an occupational disease you should 
          file a claim under OWCP. You should notify your supervisor immediately 
          if you are injured at work or feel you have an occupational disease 
          such as carpal tunnel. Your supervisor should give you a form CA-1 or 
          CA-2 depending on what type of injury you have. Parts of the form must 
          be completed by your supervisor, your doctor, and yourself. If approved, 
          OWCP will pay for medical treatment, mileage and lost wages depending 
          on the condition. You may also be eligible for other compensation including 
          schedule award payment if you have lost use of part of your body or 
          have a permanent disability. OWCP is administered by the Department 
          of Labor and can be complicated. Ron Peaks is the OWCP Coordinator for 
          the Nashville Local of the APWU and can be reached at 885-2833 or 262-7036.
