Robert M. Schwartz's book, *The FMLA Handbook

Robert M. Schwartz's book, *The FMLA Handbook*, is the definitive guide to the 1993 Family and Medical Leave Act -- and the 4th edition, published in early 2009, is now available. It explains how unions can protect workers who are absent from work for justifiable medical or family-care reasons; block compulsory "light-duty" work programs; force employers to allow part-time schedules; obtain attendance bonuses for workers absent for medical reasons; and much more.
