Does your employer provide parental leave? owl.li/F6JcH What do Swaziland, Lesotho, Papua New Guinea and the United States of America have in common? Theyre the only countries in the world that dont mandate any form of paid parental leave for workers. Thats right: The worlds richest nation has one of the worlds worst parental leave laws -- and American families are suffering as a result. In fact, many U.S.-based companies offer generous paid parental leave programs to overseas employees to comply with foreign laws, then turn around and give the very worst benefits packages possible to their employees here in the US. The good news is that we can change this. Together with Coworker.org, Democracy for America wants to organize to push profitable companies in the U.S. to offer paid parental leave to their employees. But first, we need more information about the parental leave benefits that different employers offer -- and thats where you come in. Can you take our short survey about your employers parental leave policies so we know where they stand? Your responses will be kept private. In 2012, just 11% of private sector workers in the U.S. had access to paid family leave. Parental leave is seen as such a low priority here that the U.S. Department of Labor doesnt even publish which employers have paid parental leave programs and which ones dont. We want to fight to chip away at a corporate culture that too often leaves families to fend for themselves. But first, we need to know a few things: Which companies currently offer paid parental leave? And how much do they offer? Since theres no easy way to access information about employers policies regarding paid parental leave, we need your help. Please take this completely confidential 3-minute survey to help us win paid parental leave benefits for families across the US.
