In a full-page ad in Thursday’s New York Times, more than 750 New York politicians, leaders and community organizations signed a letter urging Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer to ensure that paid family and medical leave remains part of the Build Back Better Act.
“We thank you for your leadership to fight for working families in New York and across the country; the passage of paid leave this year would cement that legacy,” the letter reads. “Simply put, on your watch, paid leave must not be left on the cutting room floor. We believe that every working person in New York and beyond deserves time to care for themselves and their loved ones regardless of where they live or work.”
