Urge your legislators to support paid family and medical leave

5/25/2016

This past legislative session, legislation was introduced that would guarantee all Wisconsin workers access to paid family and medical leave.  The bill even received a public hearing in the Senate!  Let's urge state legislators to build on this momentum so that paid family and medical leave is a reality for all Wisconsin workers.  Click through to this petition from 9to5 Wisconsin for an easy way to tell your legislators that you support the Wisconsin Family and Medical Leave Insurance Act.

To learn more about paid family and medical leave and why it is important to those who labor in Wisconsin, visit our page on the issue.
