Target: Support Everyone Who Works At Your Stores
The Target corporation has been positioning itself as a champion of its employees. They’ve gotten public praise for supporting diversity and inclusion and increasing wages and benefits in response to the pandemic. But the truth is that those benefits leave out a shadow workforce of tens of thousands of people, many of whom are Black and Brown women--who power Target's growing and profitable grocery delivery service, Shipt.
Tell McDonald’s: Give Workers Paid Leave Protections Now

End the #DGAParenthoodPenalty
Jessica Dimmock, director and Directors Guild of America (DGA) member, needed time off work to recover from birth and bond with her new baby. But the DGA policy requires members to meet a minimum earnings requirement and as a result Jessica lost her health insurance at a time when she needed it most. Now she’s fighting to change that and end this parenthood penalty.
iHeartMedia: Offer paid family leave to ALL your employees
iHeartmedia only provides time for childbirth recovery, no time for dads to bond with a new baby or support a partner recovering from childbirth, no time to care for a seriously ill family member, and new mothers are forced to have to sign up for Short-Term Disability in order to reap the benefits of any type of leave towards childbirth.
This is what high quality paid family leave looks like.
This fall, PL+US members will be walking the halls of Congress and visiting with legislators in their home districts to make sure our leaders know what families really need.
Tell Publix: Treat workers with dignity
Publix offers NO paid family leave to its 190,000 employees. That’s zero days off after childbirth, zero days to care for a dying parent, zero days for chemo treatments.
