Obituary<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Jamestown (CSi)\u00a0 U.S. Senators Heidi Heitkamp (D-ND) and Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY) Friday highlighted the need to implement a proactive, commonsense federal paid leave policy to make sure working families have the flexibility they need to care for their loved ones while strengthening the ability of small businesses to support and retain employees.<\/p>\n

Speaking with local leaders, advocates, and working families at a daycare in Jamestown, Heitkamp and Gillibrand discussed the challenges many family members face when they lack the paid leave to care for a newborn, a sick child, or an elderly parent. Pointing to the fact that almost half<\/a> of North Dakota\u2019s private-sector workforce cannot earn a single paid sick day \u2013 and that only about a third<\/a> are eligible for or can afford paid leave \u2013 the senators underscored the immediate need to invest in working families to prevent North Dakotans from choosing between their families and their jobs.<\/p>\n

Earlier Friday, Heitkamp and Gillibrand visited Zandbroz, a small family-owned business in Fargo, where they spoke about the plight of many small businesses that cannot afford to offer paid leave, and too often risk losing good employees when they need to care for a newborn or a family member. Across the country, businesses spend an average of one-fifth<\/a> of an employee\u2019s salary on replacing workrespective $284,000 and $324,000<\/a> because of the lack of paid leave policies in their workplaces. And in North Dakota \u2013 where 62,100 serve as caregivers<\/a> to ailing or elderly family members, and 74 percent of children<\/a> live in households where both parents work \u2013 the urgent need for a practical paid leave policy is apparent. ers, and over a lifetime, men and women will lose a<\/p>\n

Heitkamp says “To build a strong future for North Dakota, our state needs to invest in working families. But right now that isn\u2019t happening as almost half of private sector workers in the state can\u2019t get a single paid sick day to care for themselves or a newborn, sick child, or elderly parent. We can\u2019t predict what life throws our way, but we can help families and employers prepare rather than just crossing our fingers. That\u2019s why I\u2019m proud to support Senator Gillibrand\u2019s FAMILY Act which would help both small businesses and working families get the flexibility they need to care for their families without risking their livelihoods. This commonsense solution would help businesses attract and maintain a strong, healthy workforce, and help families plan for the life events that matter most while preventing anyone from having to choose between their family and their job.”
\nGillibrand adds, “Every American man and woman who works should have access to paid leave when they need it \u2013 not just the 13 percent who are lucky enough to have it today. We are the only industrialized country in the world that still doesn\u2019t guarantee its workers some form of paid leave. We must change this. I\u2019m grateful to Senator Heitkamp for her leadership on this important issue, and I look forward to working with her in Washington to pass the FAMILY Act and give every American worker access to paid leave.”<\/p>\n

The Family and Medical Insurance Leave (FAMILY) Act<\/i> \u2013 introduced by U.S. Senator Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY) and supported by 20 other senators \u2013 would provide working families with up to 12 weeks of partial income when they take leave for their own serious health condition, including pregnancy and childbirth recovery, the serious health condition of a child, parent, spouse, and the birth or adoption of a child. Funded through small employee and employer earned benefit of less than 0.2 percent of wages each, or about $1.50 per week for a typical worker \u2013 about the cost of a weekly cup of coffee. This legislation would create a self-sufficient program that would provide working families the flexibility they need without adding to the federal budget.<\/p>\n

Currently, the United States is the only industrialized nation in the world that does not offer paid maternity leave. The other countries that do not offer it are Swaziland, Lesotho, and Papua New Guinea.<\/p>\n

\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The delegates picked Sunday, plus the three who are automatic, will represent a fraction of those at the Republican National Convention in Cleveland in July. But the potential of a contested convention is bringing heightened attention to each delegate.
