The Washington Post : “Paid family and sick leave could expand for the first time in decades because of the pandemic”

This month marks 28 years since the Family Medical Leave Act was signed into law, but in the nearly three intervening decades, there hasn’t been a serious expansion of paid family leave.

Join me in calling for expanding paid family leave for workers >> [[link removed]]

The pandemic has been a wake-up call for all of us. It’s drawn the challenges facing workers -- especially workers on the frontlines of this health crisis -- into sharp focus.

Workers shouldn’t have to make an impossible choice between taking home a paycheck to provide for their families and taking care of their own health or the health of a loved one -- especially during a pandemic .

That’s why I’m supporting a measure that would expand paid family and sick leave for the first time in 28 years. Will you sign on your support for this important plan? [[link removed]]

Here’s what you need to know about this bill:

*
It
would
give
workers
up
to
12
weeks
of
paid
leave
whether
they’re
recovering
from
an
illness
or
childbirth
or
providing
care
for
a
loved
one.
*
It
would
pay
out
66%
of
a
worker’s
salary
up
to
$4,000
.
*
Businesses
won’t
foot
the
bill
--
the
measure
will
be
funded
through
a
small
0.2%
wage
tax.

Workers are long overdue for a comprehensive and inclusive paid family leave program. This measure would rectify that. Please sign on your support today and join me in calling for universal paid family leave. [[link removed]]
