Many locals are reporting problems with getting the APWU forms approved. The APWU and USPS have agreed, at the National Level, that the APWU forms are acceptable. However, local FMLA coordinators continue to deny FMLA certifications simply because the APWU form was used.
Until the parties can resolve this issue, we recommend that members use the dept of Labor (WH-380) forms.
