WorkLife Law’s efforts to secure justice for working people and students who are pregnant, postpartum, or caring for family members took on new dimensions this year. We’ve had to defend federal rights we previously took for granted, while expanding what’s possible at the state and local level. While our work may have shifted, we’re still creating wins for pregnant people and family caregivers nationwide.
Check out our new Annual Report to learn more about WorkLife Law’s recent successes, including:
