IRS990/Desc0Most Significant ActivitiesPaid Leave Paid Family and Medical Leave and Paid Sick Days A Better Balance works around the country helping to lead the fight to improve access to paid leave. In our home state of New York we have successfully enacted a law requiring that all workers be allowed to earn paid sick days in New York City and a paid family leave law that will go into effect statewide in January 2018.(1) Paid family and medical leave barely exists in the United States. The only Federal protection, the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA), applies only to businesses with over 50 employees, limits access for part-time workers, and guarantees only unpaid leave, which severely restricts its use, especially among low-income workers. A Better Balance leads the fight for paid family leave throughout the country. Prior to this year, there were only three states that had a program for paid family leave. However, working closely with the Governor of New York and the state legislature, we were able to pass the fourth paid family leave law in the nation which will go into effect in January 2018. When fully phased in it will be the strongest paid family leave law in the country offering 12 weeks of job protected leave to all New York workers who have a new child or a seriously ill family member to care for. During this period we have worked to educate the public and key stakeholders about the new law to insure that those who need it will be able to take advantage of it. We have also provided extensive legal support to coalitions throughout the country working on this issue, especially in Washington D.C. and Washington state which also passed paid family leave laws and to Massachusetts, Oregon and other states where the fight for paid family leave is ongoing. In Nashville, TN, municipal workers now have paid family leave, thanks in part to our assistance. (2) A Better Balance has provided extensive legal advice and support for efforts to secure paid sick days guarantees throughout the country. We provide ongoing legal support to states and localities working on paid sick days issues, providing legal support during this fiscal year to organizations in Arizona, California, Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Missouri, Oregon, Pennsylvania, and Vermont. We are also responsible for the paid sick days legislation in New York City that guarantees paid sick time to 3.4 million workers. We have developed model policies used throughout the country including model family definitions that insure inclusiveness for all families.Discrimination Against Pregnant Workers and Family CaregiversLow-wage working women, especially single mothers, are particularly at risk of losing income or even their jobs in their effort to fulfill family responsibilities and that risk is especially serious during pregnancy. ABB has been actively involved in a range of work at the local, state, and federal levels to change policies that address the limitations of current laws protecting pregnant and caregiving workers. An ABB New York Times op-ed in January 2012 inspired Congressional action, leading to the Pregnant Workers Fairness Act. In New York City and New York State, ABBs work led to enactment of a Pregnant Workers Fairness Act that insures that women can receive reasonable accommodations to keep them on the job while pregnant. Because of ABBs efforts, a total of 27 state/local laws have passed since 2013 providing stronger pregnancy discrimination protections for workers. In addition, due to ABBs efforts, caregiver discrimination laws have been passed in both New York City and New York State. ABB has been working throughout the country, publishing articles and reports and providing legal support to those in states and localities who are trying to improve the legal landscape for pregnant and caregiving workers. ABB has also initiated large scale legal action and succeeded against major employers with outdated and discriminatory policies regarding their pregnant work
