| 摘要： | President Joe Biden is advocating strongly for a large and broad infrastructure package, calling it a "once-in-a-generation investment in our nation's future." The proposed package, which is split into two parts - The American Jobs Plan and The American Families Plan - would include investments in traditional infrastructure (roads, bridges, etc.) as well as non-traditional infrastructure. One of the central tenets of this "non-traditional" infrastructure is extending paid leave to all workers.Advocates for universal paid leave note that the United States is the last wealthy nation that lacks a universal requirement for companies to provide employees paid leave to deal with personal and medical issues. In 1993, the U.S. enacted the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA), which provides qualifying workers with 12 weeks of unpaid family and medical leave. However, FMLA has restrictions that currently make four out of 10 workers ineligible. Supporters of paid leave policy argue that these restrictions contribute to declining labor participation rates in the United States. |
