This year, with you by our side, we’ve made great progress in extending critical workplace rights to millions of workers, educating workers about their existing rights, and defending hard-won work family progress.
With your support, in 2024:
- 1.8 million workers in Michigan had their right to paid sick time restored thanks to a Michigan Supreme Court ruling.
- 3 million workers in Missouri, Alaska, and Nebraska will gain the right to paid sick time to care for themselves or a loved one after voters approved new laws in November 2024.
- 4 million New York City workers have new rights to take action in court when their paid sick time rights have been violated.
- 40 million workers are now covered by paid family and medical leave programs in their state.
- $600m was paid to Colorado workers in paid family and medical leave benefits since the state’s new program took effect in January.
- 1,500 workers and students received direct legal assistance via our free, confidential work-family helpline.
- We defended and enforced the rights of pregnant and postpartum workers and students in 12 court cases.
- We spearheaded a digital awareness campaign that educated more than 2 million individuals about the Pregnant Workers Fairness Act.
- We gave commentary about work-family issues in over 100+ stories in the media.
We know that in 2025, we will continue building on these victories to create a future where no worker is forced to choose between their financial security and caring for themselves and their loved ones when it matters most.
