[nagdu] Guide dog injured on escalator

[Steve Johnson]

Looks like the FMLA is pretty specific at both the State and Federal levels, 
as there is very little different in definition with Wisconsin anyway.  Read 
on...

to care for an immediate family member (spouse, child, or parent) with a 
serious health condition; or


I hear and respect the varying opininons everyone is voicing, but this issue 
of our guides not being covered under FMLA may be something to look at 
closer as far as legislative action goes.  Maybe this could be taken one 
step further and our guides should have access to this national health care 
plan that is being debated in the Senate soon.
