UW employee's personnel records altered after filing grievance - 07/21/05

University of Wisconsin academic employee Robert Stone is battling the University of Wisconsin over what he and the American Federation of teachers Local 223 says is discrimination against him for using the Family Medical Leave Act. More shocking, the AFT's David Nack says, is that supervisors at UW tampered with Stone's personnel records.

[David Nack] : "If the response to that is they go and alter your personnel file we're really living in really what amounts to a police state mentality anyway, because you can't be sure what is being manufactured about your record or what is being altered about your record. So that's pretty scary stuff."

The AFT says it will continue to fight for Stone until he's made whole by the UW.
