Senators Introduce Measure That Passed House To Allow Airline Crews To Take FMLA Leave

On July 9th, Senator Patty Murray (D-Wash) and a group of five other bi-partisan senators introduced legislation--The Airline Flight Crew Technical Corrections Act--that would permit flight attendants and pilots to qualify for leave under the FMLA.  The proposed legislation is similar to H.R. 912, which I discussed in a prior blog, and which passed the House by voice vote on February 9th.
