Petition to pass paid leave nationwide delivered to all members of congress - Lemmy.World

>The United States is one of seven countries globally that does not have any guaranteed form of paid leave, the petition states.

To which they all replied…. “Heh. That’s cute.”
I may be uneducated because I’ve never taken advantage of it, but isn’t FMLA a form of this? I had coworkers disappear for 3 - 6 months for roughly 2/3 their pay and they don’t get fired because of FMLA.
FMLA has no pay guarantee. You can’t lose your job due to a qualified event (for now, just wait until the supreme Court gets its hands on it, I guess)
