The Family Medical Leave Act in the Time of COVID-19

Join Joan Hill and Guillermo Perez of the USW Membership & Education Department as they examine how USW members can make use of the federal Family Medical Leave Act to safeguard their jobs and health benefits should they need to take medical leave for themselves or a family member during the coronavirus pandemic. This webinar is a follow-up to an earlier webinar on the Families First Coronavirus Response Act (FFCRA), which dealt with recently enacted federal emergency leave that unfortunately failed to cover many thousands of our members.
