Re: Mom had a stroke family leave act
If you qualify for FMLA/CFRA leave, then the employer can not retaliate against you for taking it, and would have to show the changes are business justified. Sounds like it would be hard for them to do so. If you think you've been retaliated or discriminated against, feel free to contact me for the legal help you'll need.
