I remember seeing this in Europe. 12 weeks of family leave.

Of course, they are and were, socialists.

The difference is that if you need time off to see the doctor, your boss will have to pay for your time.

Many jobs, you work by the hour so this arrangement wouldn't work.

The way it usually works is 12 weeks per incident. Policies like that result in people being out, coming back for the minimum number of days, then going out again - while continuing to accrue seniority.

Under Neal’s plan, the typical worker would see two-thirds of wages replaced, with benefits based on workers’ monthly average earnings.


I note this article, at least, doesn’t say who will be doing the replacement, or how often.

"12 weeks of paid family leave made it into Democrats' early plan for $3.5 trillion in social spending"
FR: Never Accept the Premise of Your Opponent’s Argument

Patriots are reminded that the states have never expressly constitutionally given the feds the specific power to dictate, regulate, tax and spend for things like INTRAstate paid family leave.

In fact, federal and military benefits aside, the congressional record shows that Rep. John Bingham, a constitutional lawmaker, had indicated that the states, not the feds, uniquely have the Constitutional power to establish social spending programs, paid family leave for example, with their 10th Amendment powers, as the early states had intended for those powers to be used.

”Simply this, that the care of the property, the liberty, and the life of the citizen, under the solemn sanction of an oath imposed by your Constitution, is in the States and not in the federal government [emphases added]. I have sought to effect no change in that respect in the Constitution of the country.” —John Bingham, Congressional. Globe. 1866, page 1292 (see top half of third column)

In other words, federal Democrats are wrongly planning to pay for family leave with unconstitutional federal taxes, taxes that the alleged election-stealing, Democratic-pirated Congress cannot justify under its constitutional Article I, Section 8-limited powers according to the Gibbons v. Ogden excerpt above.

So the states would first have to put a stop to unconstitutional federal taxes before the states would be able to find the revenues to pay for such programs.

The remedy for unconstitutionally big, alleged election-stealing, Democratic-pirated federal government that is oppressing everybody under its boots...

Consider that all the states can effectively “secede” from the unconstitutionally big federal government by doing the following.

Patriots need to primary federal and state elected officials who don't send voters email ASAP that clearly promises to do the following.

Federal and state lawmakers need to promise in their emails to introduce resolutions no later than 100 days after start of new legislative sessions that proposes an amendment to the Constitution to the states, the amendment limited to repealing the 16th and ill-conceived 17th Amendments.

Insights welcome.

Great, so now as an employer I get to pay someone for doing nothing a total of 3 months and under the current law I can’t replace them but have to keep their job open. All the while having to pay another person to do their job...if I can find one.

This will be very easy for welfare rats to abuse. They’ll be taking 12 weeks regularly.

Democrats are really set out to destroy the USA. They are the most stupid and evil people to ever live on this planet.

I was afraid it was something like that.

A question is, what if more employers move away from direct hires, and instead only uses people on a 1099 basis?

See California and their attack on the "Gig Economy" despite many of its beneficiaries being Democrat supporters. The very concept of independent contracting is at risk.
