A federal program that helped out many families who had to spend sick time at home during the coronavirus pandemic is about to run out at the end of the year. New York Senator Kirsten Gillibrand is bringing attention to paid leave trying to extend it.
“It gave 22 million workers nationwide the ability to stay home when they are sick. That’s a public health necessity when combatting an infectious disease like the coronavirus. And it made a huge difference.”
Money to continue the program is not in the current proposal for a new stimulus plan. Dawn Hucklebridge is Director of Paid Leave for All. She says the measure is having invaluable impacts.
