Campaign to pass Paid Family Leave
"Because no one should be forced to choose between their job and their family"
Oregon led the nation with the first parental and family medical leave laws. However, many employees are unable to take advantage of these benefits because they cannot afford to go without a paycheck. Oregon employment laws have failed to keep up with the changing nature of our workforce. Consequently, Oregon workers lack the resources to balance work and family demands.
Yes! I support establishing Oregon Family Leave Insurance:
By providing a weekly benefit for up to 6 weeks, Oregon Family Leave Insurance will give workers the ability to afford time-off to be home during the crucial first months with a new child or to take care of a family member who has a lifethreatening illness.
- With an increasing number of Oregonians "sandwiched" between caring for their children and their aging parents, Oregon Family Leave Insurance will help employees balance their work and family demands.
- Employers will benefit from Oregon Family Leave Insurance by increasing employee retention and decreasing costly employee turnover.
- Families will benefit from financial stability and family well-being that Oregon Family Leave Insurance provides.
- Communities will benefit from the greater health and economic stability that Oregon Families Leave Insuranceprovides.
