D.C. government employees are about to receive better paid leave benefits if this AFGE-backed bill that has just been approved by the D.C. Council becomes law.
The DC Government Paid Leave Enhancement Amendment Act (B24-615) was approved unanimously on its first Council vote at the Legislative Meeting Sept. 20. The second vote will be on Oct. 4, then it will go to the mayor for signature, and then Congress before becoming law.
The bill would repeal the current paid family leave program and establish a new, expanded parental, family, and medical leave program.
Under the bill:
AFGE members worked really hard to push for the new leave program. Several AFGE members testified before the D.C. City Council on this bill in summer. AFGE will continue to push to fund additional weeks of paid leave, including pre-natal leave, in the DC City Council session and in the mayor’s next budget.
