Minnesota DFL Senator Katie Sieben from Cottage Grove is proposing a bill that would guarantee access to leave for Minnesota workers. She says new parents shouldn’t feel conflicted about taking time away from work to spend with a new family member or care for an ill relative….
Sieben’s bill would create an insurance program to provide workers with up to 12 weeks for pregnancy and medical issues, and 12 weeks for bonding with a new child or caring for a seriously ill family member.
