The
U.S. Department of Labor today marks the twentieth anniversary of the signing
of the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) by issuing a final rule implementing two important
expansions of FMLA protections. The first expansion provides families of
eligible veterans with the same job-protected FMLA leave currently available to
families of military service members and it also enables more military families
to take leave for activities that arise when a service member is
deployed. The second expansion modifies existing rules so that airline
personnel and flight crews are better able to make use of the FMLA’s
protections.

and other materials, visit www.dol.gov/whd/fmla/2013rule.
