Delaware’s representative, Rep. Sarah McBride, is sponsoring proposed legislation known as the FAIR Leave Act. This legislation seeks to change the current family and medical leave provisions so that spouses working at the same company can both receive individual allocations of 12 weeks of protected family medical leave. Currently, the law provides combined leave for couples working together only up to a total of 12 weeks. This directly affects families working at the same company in rural areas and small towns.

Rep. McBride, who was instrumental in the passage of Delaware’s family medical leave law, sees this law as progressive, striving for dignity, access to care, fairness, and the provision of support to families. Drawing from her personal experiences during her late husband’s terminal illness, she reinforces the importance of adequate leave for both patient care and caregiver support. Brought forward with bipartisan support, the FAIR Leave Act aims to introduce absolute equity for all, regardless of the workplace.
