Lawmakers have struck a tentative deal to include paid family leave for all federal workers in a compromise version of the National Defense Authorization Act
.
"As the country’s largest employer, the United States Government must lead by example. After 3 years of relentless advocacy, the passage of the NDAA will secure Paid Parental Leave for ALL federal employees," Ivanka Trump said in a statement. "This will mark a HUGE step forward towards making paid leave a reality for all Americans.
Its adoption would give Democrats a major policy win in the legislation that extends well beyond the Pentagon. And it would give left-leaning lawmakers a reason to support the final bill after some Democrats panned a move by negotiators to drop broad protections and cleanup measures related to toxic PFAS chemicals.
"This means that the largest employer in the country now provides basic parental leave, a huge step, and we must work to ensure that paid leave for other family emergencies will be added in the future," Gillibrand said in a statement.
