Campaign Unavailable

We're sorry, this alert is no longer available. If you would like to learn more about ways you can take action, please visit AFT e-Activist Network.

The short explanation of this alert was:

On Feb. 11, 2008, the Department of Labor (DOL) proposed changes to the Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA) regulations that will make it more difficult for workers to access leave. The DOL has framed these changes as a simple clarification of existing procedures, but an examination of the proposed changes reveals that they would severely curtail workers' ability to use the law.

The DOL needs to hear from you about why the existing regulations should not be changed. Write your personal story of how you have used FMLA leave to help you or your family through a time of illness, care for a newborn or provide long-term care for a loved one.
