White House says extra parental leave time is “unnecessary”
The House has passed legislation that would give federal employees 4 weeks of paid parental leave time when they adopt or give birth to a child on a vote of 278 to 146. Guess who doesn’t think time with your new kid is important?
And the White House threatened to veto the bill, calling it a “costly, unnecessary, new paid leave entitlement.”
