Health Care: Family Leave Under Fire? Newsweek March 26, 2007 issue - When President Bill Clinton signed the Family and Medical Leave Act in 1993, workers-rights groups were thrilled. The law allows eligible employees to take up to 12 weeks of unpaid leave for the birth of a child, to cope with a serious illness or to care for a relative without losing their jobs. Supporters say the landmark legislation has already helped more than 50 million families, and they have hopes of expanding the act to make some of that leave paid.
But as the clock ticks down on the Bush administration, labor advocates fear there are plans afoot to scale back family leave. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/17662280/site/newsweek/ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Upgrade to Adobe ColdFusion MX7 Experience Flex 2 & MX7 integration & create powerful cross-platform RIAs http://www.adobe.com/products/coldfusion/flex2/?sdid=RVJQ Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/message.cfm/messageid:232624 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5
