Support national paid family leave.

Evidence
"Marilyn supports a national paid family leave policy and will continue to work with labor to protect the right to organize and collectively bargain."
Strickland said the Build Back Better Act would deliver benefits for families and urged the Senate to vote for the "transformational bill"; the House-passed bill included a universal comprehensive paid leave title according to CRS analysis.
The House passed H.R. 5376 on November 19, 2021; CRS materials describe Title XIII, Subtitle A as proposing "Universal Comprehensive Paid Leave" with a new federal cash benefit for eligible family and medical caregiving.
Assessments
Strickland promised to support national paid family leave and did take serious same-term action by backing and voting for the Build Back Better Act, which included a federal paid leave program. However, that proposal passed the House but did not become law, and the promised national paid family leave policy was not delivered.
