i understand that, I'm just saying, 49k for a family of 3 is soooooo low.. it's time to raise that up.

It's a brand new credit, targeted at the working poor. There are several projects to help all workers, such as the family leave system.

I was so fucking pissed when I found out my husband wouldn't get any leave for our baby because he had recently changed jobs (no FMLA since he's under 12 months) and his new job is with a union (Yay)..... who is excluded from PFML since they haven't renegotiated for the last 6 or so years (areyoufuckingkiddingme!)

I’ve missed out on paternity leave for my two only children I will have because I’m in a barred union but you can bet we’ve been paying into the program since day one.
