Ocasio-Cortez has a 'strong' paid leave policy while Ivanka Trump’s are 'much more problematic,' one advocate said.
Democratic Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez on Friday unveiled a strong paid family leave policy, advocates on the issue agreed. The assessment of the progressive freshman's policy stood in contrast to what one advocate called the"much more problematic” proposals backed by White House senior adviser Ivanka Trump, who has made paid family leave one of her signature issues.
“I’ve heard the ‘normal' paternity leave is 2 weeks. That is NOT okay!” she tweeted. “As my partner says: ‘What do employers expect those new moms to do? Walk it off?’” “We’re delighted to see a strong policy from Representative Ocasio-Cortez and we’re also delighted to see her support of the FAMILY Act because we need good policies for congressional staff extended to everyone in the country,” Bravo told Newsweek on Friday.
By contrast, Ivanka Trump has advocated for a paid family leave inclusion in her father President Donald Trump’s budget that would provide only six weeks of paid leave for new parents, and other proposals that do not give them enough time to recover, Bravo said.
