Dad's Need Paid Leave Too!

This group, and some of our "Dads for Paid Leave", were featured in this Father's Day piece in the Oregonian.  They did a great job of illustrating why it's so important for dads to also have time off when a new baby is born or adopted.  These dads managed to take time off the same way mom's do, with a combination of vacation, sick-time, and unpaid leave.  But in many cases, their situations were far from ideal.  However, they each felt the time off contributed to their long-term relationship with their children, and academic research supports this idea.  So for Father's Day this year, give your dad or partner a gift that will benefit all dads (and dads-to-be): become involved in the movement towards paid family leave.
