Family Leave To Help Wounded Soldiers
October 2, 2007, 8:50pm
The House Education and Labor Workforce Protections Subcommittee held a Sept. 18 hearing on legislation to expand the nation’s law on family and medical leave in order to help family members care for wounded soldiers. Under the bill, covered family members could take up to six months of unpaid leave.
Here are video excerpts featuring subcommittee Chairwoman Lynn Woolsey, D-Calif., and the following witnesses: Debra Ness, president of the National Partnership for Women and Families; Jessica Perdew, deputy director of government relations for the National Military Family Association; and Sarah Wade, the wife of an Army sergeant injured in Iraq.
