Threatened termination if call off to go to Dr

[4rights]

Hello,

A Coworker, in a union shop, is having serious health symptoms. Boss threatens if he calls off (even to go to Dr to get checked) he will be subject to termination. Is this legal? Can the employer take action towards him even with proof he went to the Dr?

Hes being intimidated not to get his health looked at, will the company be liable if something bad comes out of not being able to go to the Dr?

Thanks
