Supreme Court upholds state family leave rules
The Supreme Court rules 6 to 3 that state workers have the right to 12 weeks of family leave under the 1993 federal act. The decision preserves federal power to require states to extend FMLA benefits to their employees, with Chief Justice Rehnquist writing for the majority. Justice Stevens joined the agreement, while Justices Scalia Kennedy and Thomas dissented.
