#SEIU1199 is live at Connecticut’s State Capitol as @GovNedLamont stamps his signature for Paid Family & Medical Leave.

“Today we are celebrating a law that will give working people access to Paid Family & Medical Leave to be able to fully recuperate. Working people like me will have the freedom to not worry about where our next meal will come from, or stress about how the bills are paid while we focus on healing ourselves or assisting our family members in need.”
