@glamourmag Seems like many laws need changing. I was a Store Manager at a @DollarGeneral & when I was 8mo pregnant I was forced to take leave bc I “was a liability”. I was weeks away from qualifying FMLA. They just kept trying to screw me, then begged me to come back. #PassPaidLeave
@glamourmag It’s important that we hold employers to high standards. I work in benefits and there are many employers who offer great paid leave options… we should make sure ALL employers are held to these standards. Choose where you work wisely and speak up about your needs.
@glamourmag We're a national parent advocacy organization with over 3 million members -- how do we get involved?!
