If your child gets sick, or your parent suffers a stroke, you shouldn't have to fear being fired for taking time off to care for your family. Over 75% of Connecticut residents support paid family and medical leave, a program that would be funded out of your paycheck to support your leave from work. It just makes sense: we're all more productive when we have peace of mind. Universal paid family leave would give our workers the sense of security they deserve, and help Connecticut employers compete with New York, New Jersey, Massachusetts, and Rhode Island.
