Ellen Bravo: Paid Leave Options and Other Policies for a Family-Friendly Agenda

Testimony from Ellen Bravo, Professor, University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee

For HB 5659

  • or career
  • opportunity
  • or health or wellbeing
  • or security
  • or peace of mind

Paid family and medical leave insurance is the answer.
