I disagree. Since you weren't 'disabled' when they hired you, and made no accommodations upon entry, you are actually an employee with rotten timing and luck. What is your 'disability', and who rated it? Yes, a doctor's letter that you need a break time could help, but it doesn't sound like it's the solution you want.
It sounds like this began within the first month of employment; a lot of places have a 90 day probation period where they can fire you for any reason whatsoever.
If this isn't the case, they can still fire you because they ARE offering you solutions: medical leave and/or part-time work. If you're not capable of doing the job for which you were hired, yes, they can fire you. They can cite tardiness, absences, and lack of productivity (sleeping). It's good you have a union rep to talk to, that's the best step to take.
I wish I had better news, but you are describing something very close to what happened to me at my last place of employment, where I requested part-time work but they said it was full-time or nothing. They knew darn well I was not going to be able to do full-time, so yes, they essentially fired me for being sick, although of course it's not worded that way.
I resigned, instead.
Good luck, Quincy, please keep us posted. PM me if my post was unclear. I wish I had great news for you, but even if you go the 'disability' route, you are setting yourself up for a host of difficulties that will make your workplace at least as tense as it is now.
