STEP #2: MAKE WORK FAMILY FRIENDLY
No one should have to choose between providing for your family and being a good parent. Yet “family-friendly” work is still a pipe dream. <snip> Specifically: – Require that women receive equal pay for equal work. – Require employers provide predictable hours so workers can plan to be home when their family needs them. – Provide universal childcare – pre-school and after-school – financed by employers and taxpayers. – Require that employers offer paid family and medical leave. The richest nation in the world should enable its workers to be good parents. Family-friendly work isn’t a luxury. People who work hard deserve to make more than a decent living. They and their families deserve a decent life. |
