GOVERNOR: Right on paid leave

The Coeur d’Alene Area Branch of the American Association of University Women commends Gov. Brad Little for his implementation of paid parental leave for Idaho’s executive branch employees. May other state entities and businesses follow his lead.

Paid family leave is a basic structural support that needs to be put in place to ensure the health of our children and make motherhood compatible with the workplace. The new executive order reinforces Idaho’s strong family values and sends a vital message everywhere that Idaho provides young parents and their families with the critical support they need to thrive.
