Episode description

Christine Dinan, an attorney with A Better Balance, a worker advocacy group, joins us to talk about how the pandemic is bringing the lack of adequate leave policies into sharp focus. She discussed the recent sick leave legislation and who it leaves out (some surprises there). The US lags behind other developed countries in its leave policies, and this is creating another crisis for struggling families during this pandemic. An educational episode.
