There are many forms of leave that are available to members, many of which are available through our state advocacy and local bargaining efforts in our CBA, to ensure members and their families are supported.   If you're growing your family, it's important to understand the leave options available to you as a FWEA member.   We are hosting a seminar to help share basic information about how to navigate the different forms of leave, and how leaves interact. We'll share the important resources, and the questions you should be asking to ensure you're supported!  RSVP here.
