Agree

No, too many workers take advantage of these programs

Disagree

Yes, but the federal government should sponsor this program instead of businesses

Disagree

Yes, but only for maternity leave

Yes, but only for sick leave which is unexpected, instead of pregnancy which is a personal choice

Yes, the lack of paid sick leave is unfair to working men and women
