Family Values @ Work: A Multi-State Consortium is a network of 14 state coalitions working for paid sick days, family leave insurance and other policies that value families at work.

Too many people have to risk their job to care for family, or put a family member at risk to keep a job. We're made to feel that this is a personal problem, but it's political - family values too often end at the workplace door. We need new workplace standards to meet the needs of real families today. These policies aren't a favor to women but are better for economic security, for individual and public health, and for business.

It's time to value families at work.
