In the more than two decades since the passage of the Family and Medical Leave Act, there have been numerous unsuccessful attempts to expand family leave benefits nationally. However, in the United States, it is common for innovations in family policies to arise at the state level.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn her timely book, \u003ci\u003eGetting Paid While Taking Time, \u003c\/i\u003eMegan Sholar explains the development of family leave policies at both the national and state levels in the United States. She provides cogent studies of states that have passed and proposed family leave legislation, and she pays special attention to the ways in which women’s movement actors and other activists (e.g., labor unions) exert pressure on public officials to help influence the policymaking process. In her conclusion, Sholar considers the future of paid family leave policies in the United States and the chances for it ever equaling the benefits in other countries. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eChapter 1: Women’\u003cbr\u003es Movements and the Passage of Family Leave Policies \u003cbr\u003e Chapter 2: The Passage of the National Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA)\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 3: From the FMLA to the FAMILY Act: Family Leave Policy at the National Level since 1993\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 4: Success in the States: Paid Family Leave in California, New Jersey, Rhode Island, and New York\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 5: When Paid Family Leave Fails to Pass in the States: Washington, Oregon, Massachusetts, and Hawaii\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 6: The Future of Family Leave in the United States\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Temple University Press","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52584913699096,"sku":"9781439912959","price":21.56,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/getting-paid-while-taking-time-the-womens-movement-and-the-development-of-paid-family-leave-policies-in-the-united-states-paperback-softback-9781439912959","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
