Senator Kirsten Gillibrand and U.S. Representative Rosa DeLauro to announce the introduction of the Family and Medical Insurance Leave Act. According to the announcement, the act guarantees up to 12 weeks of partial income for workers who need to take leave due to serious medical or family events. $22.5 billion per year in wages is lost by working families due to a lack of paid family and medical leave. By guaranteeing up to 12 weeks of paid leave for workers who have to take time off for a major life event, the Family Act will end these impossible decisions.
