Paid maternity leave for new mothers
New polling finds that 61% of adults would be more likely to move to a state with a paid leave program, and paid leave is one of the top three policies people prioritze when considering relocation @wvlegislature bsr.org/files/BSR-Tale…
I will forever holler about the necessity for @PaidLeaveforAll. Workers will always need to be able to take care of their health and families. Having to fight for one day of paid sick time is despicable.

A year ago, @paidleaveWV kicked off #PicnicsForPaidLeave at our picnic in Wheeling, WV. West Virginia workers are still faced with the impossible choice of caring for their newborn or a sick relative or losing their job that they need to pay the bills. WV needs #PaidLeaveForAll

Thank you @SenGillibrand. West Virginia businesses and workers need #PaidLeave. @Sen_JoeManchin @SenCapito please help ensure that no one in WV loses their job while they are caring for their newborn baby or dying parent. #PaidLeaveWorksForWV

Women are still struggling w/out paid leave or child care support. ✨ That's why WM Dems are calling on working women, mothers, & caregivers to share their #PaidLeave or #ChildCare stories ✨ Click 👇 below for submission details. waysandmeans.house.gov/share-your-sto…
This! West Virginia could enact a permanent paid leave program, nearly double the number of subsidized child care slots statewide, and give every child $250 with its remaining surplus. #paidleaveforall #solvechildcare

Prevent Child Abuse West Virginia strongly urges @Sen_JoeManchin and @SenSchumer to include funding for WV childcare in the reconciliation package negotiation. Over 60% of WV is a childcare desert which is a huge burden on working parents of young children. #SolveChildCare
Two-thirds of women with young children are workers fueling America’s economy. Nearly half are their family’s primary breadwinners. The pandemic only exacerbated women's struggle to juggle #Childcare, online school, & earning a paycheck with most not having access to #paidleave
Proud of all of the state paid leave coalitions—thank you @paidleaveWV!
Proud of all of the state paid leave coalitions—thank you @paidleaveWV!
Paid Leave Works for WV is pleased to be meeting with @NPWF @PaidLeaveforAll and colleagues from 10 other states today working on crafting #PaidLeave on the state level. We look forward to WV joining Delaware and Maryland in passing paid leave!
SB71 denies communities the authority to enact #PaidLeave. This action makes it harder for workers who are caring for newborn children and loved ones. Paid Leave Works for West Virginia! Lawmakers need to EXPAND paid leave - not preempt it. #WVLegis cc: @paidleaveWV
Passing child care and paid leave would be a boon for the U.S. economy, according to Moody’s Corp, projecting “policies such as paid family leave and universal pre-kindergarten could result in a $1 trillion boost to gross domestic product by 2028.” bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
Tell your @wvhouse delegates to oppose this industry-backed attack on local governments.
If this passes cities would be subject to the whims (or more likely inaction) of the state on minimum wage, paid leave, apprenticeship programs, conversion therapy bans, and just about anything else. Local officials know what their cities need- let them serve their constituents.
While you were (hopefully) sleeping, the House Judiciary committee advanced SB 71, a truly terrible bill that takes away the power of locally elected officials to pass policies broadly supported by their voters.

SCOOP: @JStein_WaPo and I have confirmed that railroads have agreed to give workers the ability to take days off for medical care without being subject to discipline. This was THE key demand that railroad workers wanted to strike over, and they got it.
The proposed income tax cut would reward wealthy West Virginians when it could be used to help working families. Instead of a tax cut for the wealthy these $ could support #PaidFamilyMedicalLeave for workers so parents can balance work and childcare or caring for an aging parent.

Not sure who needs to hear this - but *even if* you: foster kids donate baby clothes help underprivileged kids/families in your community You STILL don't have the right to force people to give birth.
Employers and the lawmakers listening to them keep asking 'where are all the workers,' as if it is a great mystery. But as this thread details, one huge piece is the cratering of our paid caregiving system and lack of work-care policies during the pandemic.
The data for #JobsDay are relatively positive, but women have a long way to go. Women gained 181,000 jobs in May but they're still down 723,000 jobs since Feb 2020. Three-quarters of a million jobs! That’s more than 7X as many jobs as men, who are down 99,000 jobs during COVID.

Comprehensive #PaidLeave looks like ❣️ Lower infant mortality rates ❣️ Health benefits for new mothers ❣️ Higher productivity when parents return to work When we give families the chance to create #MomentsThatMatter, their health, wellness, & work performance get better.
We’re gathered bright and early at Brew Ha! Ha! in Wilmington, DE to celebrate and discuss the passage of the Healthy Delaware Families Act which will provide #paidleave for workers.
