Workers should have access to #PaidFamilyLeave without having to use their accrued vacation time first! We were happy to join @calwic and testify on behalf of so many organizations in strong support for #AB2123 (@AsmDianePapan), a commonsense and crucial improvement to PFL. 2/4

#AB2499(@AsmPilarSchiavo) would strengthen safe leave protections and also allow California Workers to use the #PaidSickDays to support a family member who is a survivor of domestic violence or violent crimes. 3/4

#AB2499 has passed Labor & Employment Committee!
Survivors of violence should never lose a job because they need time to recover from a traumatic event!
Thank you @AsmPilarSchiavo for protecting survivors’ rights!
