FOR ALL US FMLA GROUPIES
I know that some union locals have designated stewards who handle all their FMLA matters. The rest need to be able to get answers quickly when a member knocks on the door with an FMLA problems. The American Bar Association issues an annual report on the latest developments in FMLA law. While there are some slight differences between what private and federal sector entitlements are, this ABA report is a great resource for a union. It not only might alert a union to a wrinkle in the law it was unaware of if it takes the time to page through it, but also give a union rep a good idea of what must be done when an employee needs help. You can find the link to it in this post from FMLA Insights: “A Winter Treat! The ABA’s Summary of 2024 FMLA Court Decisions Has Arrived.”
