What is FMLA ?
ReplyDeleteAsking for the 7,675,387,211 people outside the USA.
(Also SAG-AFTRA & WGA ... but I probably don't really care)
1. Go to search engine.
ReplyDelete2. Type in FMLA.
3. All will be revealed.
4. Repeat with SAG-AFTRA and WGA.
5. More revealations.
To save the snark – FMLA is "Family Medical Leave Act", which provides for reasonable allowances for time off for family emergencies with the assurance that your job will still be there after.
ReplyDeleteSAG-AFTRA are the abbreviations for 'Screen Actors Guild' and 'American Federation of Television and Radio Artists', the two unions that have merged into one (and hyphenated the name) and encompass most of the on-air talent on radio, TVs, or in the movies.
And WGA is the abbreviation for the Writers Guild of America', which covers most screenwriters for TV, scripted radio, and movies.
