Vote on passage of the bill to force public and private employers to give employees up to 12 weeks of unpaid leave a year for serious illness, or to care for a new child or a sick child, parent, or spouse. On top of the onerous cost to small businesses, the unintended effect of the bill is to reduce employment opportunities for young married women. |
