From the report:
"Combined with the provision of job protection for workers on leave, Massachusetts’ paid leave program will reduce the economic instability many workers now face when they leave without pay."

"The adoption of the program represents an historic victory for workers, especially for women because they disproportionately take more leaves than men to have children, to bond with them, and to care for relatives. "

"In addition, the law is particularly beneficial to low-wage workers because they have considerably less access to paid leave from their employers. "
