Various politicians and organizations are advocating for policies to provide paid time off for American workers. Senator Bernie Sanders and the United Auto Workers president propose shortening workweeks without reducing pay. Congressional Democrats plan to introduce legislation for two weeks of paid annual leave benefiting around 27 million Americans. The push for guaranteed vacation time is supported by multiple lawmakers and groups, emphasizing the need for work-life balance and mental well-being.
TODAY, I’m helping lead a new bill to guarantee paid vacation time for ALL American workers. European countries recognize that when you work, you earn yourself a break. It’s time for the United States to catch up. #PTOAct https://t.co/IcPRoCRz92

It is inexcusable that we are still the only industrialized country in the world without guaranteed paid vacation leave. The AFL-CIO proudly endorses the Paid Time Off Act to guarantee every full-time worker has the right to at least two weeks paid leave a year. https://t.co/JSah4HyI3P
27 million American workers do not get any guaranteed vacation time. That is unacceptable. I’m a proud co-sponsor of the #PTOAct to ensure all Americans have access to guaranteed time off.
Americans work harder than anyone and deserve balance in their lives. In fact, over 27 million U.S. workers do not receive guaranteed vacation time at their job. That’s why I support the Protected Time Off (PTO) Act to guarantee paid time off for all workers.

“By putting forward ‘earned time off’ as a natural extension of the Fair Labor Standards Act, the U.S. can continue its tradition of labor rights advancement, offering protections and benefits that reflect the needs and complexities of modern employment.” https://t.co/yyXVzqKbAe
