Democrats outline ‘care infrastructure’ plan, with paid leave and child care
House Democrats are further expanding the definition of infrastructure with a plan to provide paid leave and family benefits for the vast majority of Americans.
The proposal would require Pennsylvanians to pay part of their checks into an emergency fund, from which any eligible worker would be able to draw benefits.
The sick time ordinance was first passed in 2015. A failed legal challenge from the Pennsylvania Restaurant and Lodging Association delayed its implementation.
