Introduction to the Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA) 6:00 – 9:00 PM at UMass Lowell, Alumni Hall, 1 University Avenue, North Campus.  The Family Medical Leave Act provides important rights for workers and can be used to protect members and win grievances for workers who are disciplined for absenteeism and tardiness.  This workshop will also help educate members about their extensive rights to time off to care for ailing family members.  In addition to providing information about the FMLA, it will also cover the lesser-known but very important Massachusetts Small Necessities Leave Act.
