Did You Know...
Prior to FMLA and Leaves of Absence under Article 6, it was common for teachers in Nashua we became pregnant to lose their jobs when they left to have their baby. There were no legal protections and no contractual protections. While there was leave of absence language in the contract , none of the language fully protected a teacher until the contract that started September 1, 1974. It was not until 19 years later that federal protections were put into place when FMLA was signed into law in 1993. We're lucky to have the provisions of Article 6 and the protections we have when we're sick, have a family, or for other reasons.
