Add me

[@mrerick0363652]

Well I'm a against but me and my wife foster children and she works for CPS I think a week is good to get things adjusted for a new child but 2 weeks and 12 weeks this not good for the tax payer.

[@thescrolls9190]

How does this help the kids?

[@marcellogenesi6390]

I spotted one token white man in his administration, how very diverse!

[@vcurls5951]

Helps the teacher’s kids at home.

[@patrickmccarthy6798]

So, his first major policy change is giving away more than payer money.

[@ironaddicted]

Is this a thank you to the teachers for helping him out and voting for him?

[@Robsay01]

I know Chicago very well. It’s only a matter of time before “payed leave” abuse and scams are found by the papers and such. I’m fine with the policy but why not all employees then?

[@Bunnicula71]

Sounds terribly expensive, Champagne taste, Night Train budget.

[@kriskeilman2087]

Can someone identify as a new parent and take this parental leave and get paid for the time off from their job?

[@Jleed989]

Let’s see, they already get 3 months off in the summer. What is he doing for the other city workers?

[@kennethhill2014]

Votes = time off!

[@briten7341]

Socialism

[@vcurls5951]

[@user-uc2xe2hc9r]

He put the Ctu first smh I guess it’s there kickback for getting him in

[@JackTheSkunk]

Dem baby mamas be needing more time off. Sounds like reparations in disguise.

[@lronhubbard8580]

Bingo

[@vcurls5951]

Every race of moms will benefit

[@user-uc2xe2hc9r]

Read in between the lines

[@ThePervertDJ]

CTU wasted no time puttin him to work

[@et34t34fdf]

I bet the people who are against this are also the same people in favor of complete abortion bans. How very "pro-family" of you...

[@gatvestreet9248]

Pay them more benefits as education results fall. That’s Progressive. What a joke.

[@Blsbr02]

Glad parents will have their 12 weeks of peace with their new born in case the child gets killed by a stray (or intentional) bullet thanks to Chicago's gun violence. I am glad parents are getting the time off. I just hope this system is not abused and the children can stay safe from violence.

[@yvankouame9437]

I guess this is way the teacher union support you.

[@johnprendergast1338]

Parents and Teachers in Chicago are as nutty as the kids And Johnson talks to them like they are kids...funny to watch the juvenile victim's politics ....

[@franklinhernandez683]

You have an unsafe cities for citizens day after this is what you going to make better why don't you put specialist to teach behavior in school for these criminal teenagers you have there

[@lee-lee2418]

Wow, what a difference in Canada 🇨🇦.... it is 52 weeks and some can apply for another 6 months if desired. It is nice that at least they are extending it tho.

[@Thebrothaisback]
