Legal Rights and Information

Both AFT and the federal government have provided some useful overviews on workers' legal rights in relation to COVID-19. See AFT's full page on COVID-19 Resources here, which includes a section on legal rights.

  • U.S. Department of Labor, "COVID-19 and the Family and Medical Leave Act Questions and Answers" (note: please be aware that Wisconsin has its own FMLA with differing provisions -- check with your union for more information if you're considering using FMLA): https://www.dol.gov/agencies/whd/fmla/pandemic 

If you have more detailed questions or concerns, as always work with your local union leaders, who can consult AFT-Wisconsin staff as needed.
