Praise for The FMLA Handbook
“A highly useful resource for union negotiators, stewards, and members. This is must reading before negotiations begin.”
Bill Fletcher, Jr., Director, AFL-CIO Department of Education, Washington D.C.
“A comprehensive, easy-to-understand guide that is packed with valuable — and often surprising — information. Anyone who wants to take full advantage of the FMLA's benefits should own this book.”
David Prosten, Editor, Steward Update, Annapolis, Maryland
“This book is great! We have already used it to win a substantial grievance on attendance bonuses. I had no idea there was so much good stuff in the FMLA. We want copies for each of our stewards.”
Dave Robbins, Secretary-Treasurer, Teamsters Local 504, Boston, Massachusetts
“An extremely useful guidebook... it has an unusually helpful index, a glossary of terms and an uncluttered reader-friendly style.”
Juliet Brudney, Boston Globe
“This book is so good it gave me goose bumps!”
Conrad Young, President, UAW Local 1588, Delaware, Ohio
“This book does a super job at simplifying the law. I love the illustrations. Our entire executive board is using it.”
Michael Crosbie, Chief Steward, OPEIU Local 295, Woburn, Massachusetts
