Expanded Coverage to Bargaining Unit
International Brotherhood of Teamsters Local 2000 & Northwest Airlines: Flight Attendants shall be afforded the provisions of the Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993 as those provisions apply to Northwest Airlines. With respect to the provisions of the Act regarding hours of employment in the twelve (12) month period preceding the requested leave, it is agreed that four hundred forty-three (443) credited hours earned by a Flight Attendant in such twelve (12) month period shall equate to the minimum hours of employment required by the Act.
Service Employees International Union Local 1877 and Standard Parking LP: SEIU Local 1877 negotiated with Standard Parking LP, an employer with fewer than 50 employees, to put language similar to FMLA language in the contract. Under the agreement, eligible employees may take time off without pay to care for an immediate family member. Employees have the option to use accrued paid sick leave and/or vacation time instead of this unpaid leave, but are not required to use their accrued paid time off.
