The short explanation of this alert was:

AFA-CWA has been fighting in Congress for FMLA fairness for all Flight Attendants.  In a response to our campaign, Democratic and Republican Senators have introduced the Airline Flight Crew Technical Corrections Act, S. 1422.  This bi-partisan legislation would clarify the intent of the original Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) in regards to hours of qualification for flight attendants and pilots and will finally correct years of unfairness in qualifying for FMLA coverage, especially for reserve flight attendants.

This common sense correction to the FMLA law was passed by the U.S. House of Representatives last year by a vote of 402-9. However, time ran out of the Congressional calendar before the Senate could schedule a floor vote on this issue.

Earlier this year, the House passed the legislation on a unanimous voice vote once again showing overwhelming bipartisan support for our bill.

Don't let the bill die again in the US Senate. We need your help to pass this legislation! Please help us by taking a moment to send a message to your Senator, asking them for their support on the Airline Flight Crew Technical Corrections Act, S. 1422.
