Last Friday, I was in Los Angeles, CA and took part in the second leg of the nationwide “Lead on Leave: Empowering Working Families Across America” tour. On this tour, Obama Administration officials are fanning out across the country to talk with everyday Americans about why we need to catch up with the rest of the developed world and implement sensible paid leave and paid sick days policies -- why we need to #LeadOnLeave. (Check out Secretary Perez’s stop in Seattle here.)
Talking pro-working families policies over breakfast:
While in Los Angeles, I headed to Manifesto Café for breakfast, a restaurant that seeks to protect workers’ rights and give community members access to quality, affordable food. The owners spoke about how they feel that they can retain their staff and be great employers, in part by looking out for their workers and paying them more than the minimum wage.
