All workers should be able to contribute to the economy knowing that, if personal health or family needs demand it, they can take leave from work without losing their jobs and their livelihoods.

I encourage you to expand the FMLA to address those problems and I urge you to enact national paid leave insurance.

It should be expanded to cover leave taken by more relatives, domestic partners, and people who aren't blood relatives.

we heard compelling testimony on the need for Congress to build upon the successes of the Family and Medical Leave Act

The FAMILY Act is the best paid family and medical insurance leave bill.
