Answer

In addition to your union grievance, you have a right to file a complaint with the EEOC for violation of your rights under FMLA and you can file a complaint with the Department of Health and Hospitals for violation of your HIPAA rights. Based upon what you have stated the employer certainly has appeared to have violated your FMLA rights and the EEOC should issue a right to sue letter upon your providing them with all of your evidence. You would then be able to hire an attorney and sue the employer for the violations. However, if your employer has remedied the past situation, your right to recovery may be reduced.
