Paid Leave For All: An explainer on what it would look like, the fight to get it passed, and how not having paid leave for all impacts us all with Dawn Huckelbridge, Director of Paid Leave For All

Only 25% of US workers have access to paid family leave through an employer. To flip it, 75% of US workers don’t have access to paid family leave through an employer, meaning the majority of people do not have access. Important to add here is the word paid, which is a part of our conversation which defines the differences between terms like maternity leave versus paid leave. Said conversation is with Dawn Huckelbridge, the Director of Paid Leave For All, and tackles more than the defining terms, but gets into the benefits and impact of paid leave – and how a national paid leave policy would help people coast to coast. We go into why we need it, how it would work, how businesses and workers would both benefit, and where we’re at in the fight for passing this policy. We also talk about what paid leave looks like around the globe, sharing the differences between where we are and where we need to be on this policy.
