The Senate passed a historic measure on Tuesday that would fund paid family and medical leave for federal employees, marking a win for a policy pushed by Ivanka Trump, a senior White House adviser and daughter of President Trump.
The United States and New Guinea are the only two countries out of 170 that do not currently provide financial support during maternity leave, according to the United Nations. Instead, the 25-year-old Family Medical Leave Act simply required employers with 50 or more workers to grant parents 12 weeks of leave annually to care for a new child -- but did not guarantee pay during that time.
This new policy represents another incredible win for millions of hard-working American families courtesy of President Trump!"And her father, the President, called for a national paid family leave program during the presidential campaign and his proposed budget is the first to include a national paid family leave program. He is expected to sign the legislation.The President also offered praise for the initiative last week.
