(Bloomberg) Kamala Harris rolled out a proposal that would require U.S. employers to provide six months of paid family and medical leave for everyone who works, a mandate that would go well beyond the three months backed by most other 2020 Democratic candidates.
Harris’s plan would apply to private-sector and government workers, and to the self-employed and independent contractors. Those making less than $75,000 would get full wage replacement while on leave, with benefits phasing down for wealthier workers.
