President Biden Marks 30th Anniversary of Family and Medical Leave Act | EWTN News Nightly

About this sermon

President Joe Biden marked the 30th anniversary of the Family and Medical Leave Act. It guarantees many American workers up to 12 unpaid weeks off to recover from major illness or childbirth or to take care of sick family members. While the administration continues its push for national paid family leave, on Thursday the president focused on federal workers. In the East room, President Biden and former President Bill Clinton put the spotlight on the Family and Medical Leave Act, which President Clinton signed into law on February 5, 1993. In 2021, President Biden championed, but failed to win support for paid leave. The White House estimated it would cost more than $225 billion over a decade. Still the White House is committed to passing a national paid family and medical leave program. White House Correspondent, Owen Jensen reports.
