For 30 years, the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) has given American workers the right to take time to care for themselves and their loved ones without losing their jobs. When President Clinton signed it into law on February 5, 1993, I was proud to have
fought for it as a United States Senator alongside tenacious advocates and Members of Congress.<br>
<br>
Before its passage, parents were not guaranteed time off for staying home with a newborn or sick child, and workers could lose their health insurance for taking leave to fight an illness. The FMLA ended that for millions of Americans, guaranteeing up to 12 weeks
of unpaid leave annually to care for a spouse, a parent, a child, or themselves, and preserving their jobs until they returned. The law has given countless Americans peace of mind in their toughest moments. It has made workplaces fairer and healthier. And
it has made it easier for millions of women — who still disproportionately shoulder caregiving responsibilities — to remain in the workforce, benefitting our whole economy.<br>
<br>
But it is not enough to just protect people’s jobs; we must also protect their paychecks so every American worker can afford to be there for their loved ones. The COVID-19 pandemic made this even more obvious. The United States is one of the only countries
in the world that does not provide paid leave to its workers, undermining the health and economic security of families and our Nation. As millions more Americans join today’s so-called “sandwich generation,” struggling to care for both young kids and aging
parents, we need to help.</p>

<td><span style="font-size:16px"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica neue,helvetica,sans-serif">This week, the Biden-Harris Administration is marking the upcoming 30th anniversary of the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) by announcing new actions
to support and advance economic security. For thirty years, the FMLA has helped Americans take up to 12 weeks of unpaid leave from work when they are seriously ill or to care for a new child or a sick family member without the risk of losing their jobs. Today,
President Biden is demonstrating his commitment to ensuring access to family and medical leave, by encouraging heads of Federal agencies to provide access to leave for Federal employees when they need it, including during their first year of service.<br>
<br>
Across the country, millions of workers still face impossible choices between keeping a paycheck and caring for their family or themselves. That’s why the Biden-Harris Administration will continue to champion and take action on national paid family and medical
leave, affordable child care, and home and community-based care so that all Americans can both care for and financially support their families.</span></span>
