Support the Department of Labors Notice of Proposed Rulemaking relating to legislative expansions of the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA). The proposed rules would implement changes to the military leave provisions of the FMLA, as well as the Airline Flight Crew Technical Corrections Act. The rule appropriately extends the amount of time a family member may take for qualifying exigency leave when the reason for leave is a service members rest and recuperation. Veterans must be able to establish that they suffer from a qualifying serious injury or illness without having to rely on the Veterans Affairs Schedule for Rating Disabilities (VASRD) or on their ability to fulfill occupational requirements. The documentation that employers may require of family members of active duty service members who are seeking qualified exigency leave should explicitly allow family members to supply a letter from the service members command. Support the Departments decision to allow any FMLA health care provider to certify a serious injury or illness for military caregiver leave. Support the Departmentof Labor's interpretation of the five-year coverage limit under FMLA for veterans. Encouraged the Department of Labor to provide a straightforward explanation of what is meant by the phrase qualifying exigency. For qualifying exigency leave related to childcare, we urge the Department to explicitly include additional categories of childcare and school activities that would qualify a military family member to take leave. The Department should ensure that gay and lesbian service members have equal access to family care by amending the definition of next of kin. The Department should explicitly note that all FMLA regulations are interpreted to include the children of parents standing in loco parentis and should ensure consistent and uniform administration of these new FMLA provisions. Veterans whose family members would have qualified for caregiver leave but for the fact that regulations had not yet been promulgated should be given a special dispensation so that they can take leave to care for veterans who still need such assistance. The Department should insert language identifying the discharge date provided on form DD-214 as the date when the veteran officially transitioned from being an active duty service member. Support S.3220, the Paycheck Fairness Act. Support collective bargaining. Oppose Rand (KY) amendment to S. 1789. Support project labor agreements.

Support the Department of Labors Notice of Proposed Rulemaking relating to legislative expansions of the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA). The proposed rules would implement changes to the military leave provisions of the FMLA, as well as the Airline Flight Crew Technical Corrections Act. The rule appropriately extends the amount of time a family member may take for qualifying exigency leave when the reason for leave is a service members rest and recuperation. Veterans must be able to establish that they suffer from a qualifying serious injury or illness without having to rely on the Veterans Affairs Schedule for Rating Disabilities (VASRD) or on their ability to fulfill occupational requirements. The documentation that employers may require of family members of active duty service members who are seeking qualified exigency leave should explicitly allow family members to supply a letter from the service members command. Support the Departments decision to allow any FMLA health care provider to certify a serious injury or illness for military caregiver leave. Support the Departmentof Labor's interpretation of the five-year coverage limit under FMLA for veterans. Encouraged the Department of Labor to provide a straightforward explanation of what is meant by the phrase qualifying exigency. For qualifying exigency leave related to childcare, we urge the Department to explicitly include additional categories of childcare and school activities that would qualify a military family member to take leave. The Department should ensure that gay and lesbian service members have equal access to family care by amending the definition of next of kin. The Department should explicitly note that all FMLA regulations are interpreted to include the children of parents standing in loco parentis and should ensure consistent and uniform administration of these new FMLA provisions. Veterans whose family members would have qualified for caregiver leave but for the fact that regulations had not yet been promulgated should be given a special dispensation so that they can take leave to care for veterans who still need such assistance. The Department should insert language identifying the discharge date provided on form DD-214 as the date when the veteran officially transitioned from being an active duty service member. Support S.3220, the Paycheck Fairness Act. Support collective bargaining. Oppose Rand (KY) amendment to S. 1789. Support project labor agreements. Support Grimm (NY) amendment to HR 5854 Oppose policy "riders" on the Commerce Justice Science Appropriations bill for FY 13 which would prohibit the US DoJ from supporting legal efforts toimplement the EEOC criminal background check guidence.

Support the Department of Labors Notice of Proposed Rulemaking relating to legislative expansions of the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA). The proposed rules would implement changes to the military leave provisions of the FMLA, as well as the Airline Flight Crew Technical Corrections Act. The rule appropriately extends the amount of time a family member may take for qualifying exigency leave when the reason for leave is a service members rest and recuperation. Veterans must be able to establish that they suffer from a qualifying serious injury or illness without having to rely on the Veterans Affairs Schedule for Rating Disabilities (VASRD) or on their ability to fulfill occupational requirements. The documentation that employers may require of family members of active duty service members who are seeking qualified exigency leave should explicitly allow family members to supply a letter from the service members command.

Support the Departmentof Labor's interpretation of the five-year coverage limit under FMLA for veterans. Encouraged the Department of Labor to provide a straightforward explanation of what is meant by the phrase qualifying exigency. For qualifying exigency leave related to childcare, we urge the Department to explicitly include additional categories of childcare and school activities that would qualify a military family member to take leave. The Department should ensure that gay and lesbian service members have equal access to family care by amending the definition of next of kin. The Department should explicitly note that all FMLA regulations are interpreted to include the children of parents standing in loco parentis and should ensure consistent and uniform administration of these new FMLA provisions. Veterans whose family members would have qualified for caregiver leave but for the fact that regulations had not yet been promulgated should be given a special dispensation so that they can take leave to care for veterans who still need such assistance. The Department should insert language identifying the discharge date provided on form DD-214 as the date when the veteran officially transitioned from being an active duty service member. Support S.3220, the Paycheck Fairness Act. Support collective bargaining. Oppose Rand (KY) amendment to S. 1789. Support project labor agreements.
