I was given certain work restrictions by my doctor that the USPS were required to follow, My postmaster at 95070 refused my Doctors orders, said they were unexceptable, I explained this was illlegal he stated if I were scheaduled to work by him and i did not comply I would be suspended(first step of termination process) an d be given a letter of warning Aginst doctors orders with fear of discpine if I did not work, I worked on 7/22/06. Before i started I had the supervisor read a note I had written, for fear of further injury I request that I be let go, I said my doctor ordered this, I was refused, so I worked 6hrs. now my shoulder was killing me, I went home sick. When my doctor found out my employer could careless about doctors notes, she said it was a legal document, what I needed was an attorney!!

You need an attorney who handles Federal Workers Compensation cases. These are difficult to find. I would start by asking your coworkers and spend some time on Google. Yes, google. Search "federal workers compenstaion attorney" and you should find a few people who handle it. Otherwise, call your County Bar and see if they have a referral program.
