Democrats and President Barack Obama understand the importance of paid-leave policies for working families and workplace productivity. That’s why the president recently announced that federal contractors will now be required to offer employees paid sick leave, and why he called on Congress to pass paid family leave. But Marco Rubio and Jeb Bush don’t seem to have a clue when it comes to this critical issue for women and families. Unbelievably, Marco Rubio has flat out said he doesn’t support federal laws to require paid leave, and as governor of Florida, Jeb Bush refused to support programs that would allow mothers to take paid time off after the birth or adoption of a child. Their positions signal that if either one becomes president, the United States could remain the only industrialized nation in the world without a paid maternity-leave requirement. When you consider Marco Rubio and Jeb Bush’s economic policies and how they’d impact women, it’s hard to imagine how we’ll get ahead with either of them in the White House. But considering they’re leaders in the Republican party, I’m not surprised they have no issue leaving women behind.
