A United Airlines Holdings Inc. policy requiring flight attendants to provide a doctor’s note when calling in sick on certain days is being reviewed by the US Labor Department to see if it conforms to federal rules.
The department said it had received “numerous recent inquiries” from workers about the change, the agency said Thursday in a statement. United told employees that starting July 21 it would require the extra documentation until further notice for those calling out sick for assigned flights or being on reserve for Friday, Saturday or Sunday
