Bill would guarantee job leaves for parents

The measure, backed by Rep. Patricia Schroeder and Sen. Christopher Dodd, would not mandate pay but would protect job restoration. It aims to reflect more women in the workforce and allow either parent to take child or sick-leave without losing seniority.
