ICYMI: Labor Leaders Introduce New and Improved Family Act in Fight for Universal Paid Leave
Press Release
Issues: Family
"More than 40 percent of workers are not covered under FMLA. And of those covered, many are forced to choose between earning a paycheck and caring for their families. Workers who often need paid leave protections the most-- low-income workers--are disproportionally left out. We must ensure all workers are able to care for their families or themselves without having to worry about losing their jobs or their income. The FAMILY Act will extend coverage to part-time workers, address the reality of modern workplaces and families, and make the promise of leave a reality for low-wage workers because it will be paid leave."
