How the Federal Government Can Learn from the Evolution of CA's Family Leave Act
The “Quiet Revolution” was coined to identify the gradual change of attitude about women entering the labor force, starting in the 1970s. However, little has been done to assist women who choose to have children while employed. As recently as 2010, women comprised 49% of the total U.S. labor force, including 55% of all workers in high-paying management, professional, and related occupations. After Australia enacted new legislation in 2009, the United States remains as the only industrialized country without national paid maternity-leave laws, leaving itself in the company of countries such as Papua, New Guinea, and Liberia.
More broadly, U.S. employment law had done little to protect workers from job loss when circumstances demand family-necessitated time away from work. Even worse, only a few states, such as California, New Jersey, New York, Hawaii, Rhode Island and Hawaii, have enacted their own programs to try to address this issue. And the length, duration and amount of wage coverage vary widely among these proactive states. For instance, some states will cover up to $1,000 per week, while others only cover $170 per week.

Coverage Issues Stemming from Dry Cleaner Contamination Suits
In recent years, there has been a growing number of dry cleaners claiming to be "organic," "green," or "eco-friendly."
