How would you like to see paid family leave work?
States are moving ahead on paid family leave.
Supporters cheer as New York Governor Andrew Cuomo speaks to promote his paid family leave initiative at a rally in Manhattan Thursday morning on March 10, 2016 in New York City. The governor was joined by house Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi. The proposal, 'Strong Families, Strong New York', calls for 12 weeks of paid benefits to allow workers to care for new children or other family members.
