Flexibility
for
Working
Families

One
of
my
priorities
in
Congress
is
to
help
reignite
the
American
Dream
and
provide
more
opportunities
for
middle-class
families.
One
way
we
achieve
this
is
to
provide
more
flexibility
for
working
families.
This
week,
the
House
Committee
on
Education
and
the
Workforce
passed
legislation
I
cosponsored
to
do
just
that.
The
Working
Families
Flexibility
Act
allows
private
sector
employees
to
choose
what
works
best
for
themselves
and
their
families
paid
time
off
or
cash
wages
for
any
overtime
hours
worked.
Our
workforce
is
constantly
transforming
to
meet
the
needs
of
our
economy,
and
we
need
to
ensure
we
are
providing
employees
the
opportunity
to
better
balance
their
professional
and
personal
obligations.
Whether
it’s
caring
for
an
aging
family
member,
or
a
single
parent
working
to
meet
the
needs
of
their
children,
employees
should
have
the
flexibility
they
need.
I
am
glad
this
bill
was
passed
out
of
committee,
and
I
look
forward
to
working
with
my
colleagues
to
pass
this
bill
on
the
House
floor.

this
important
legislation

It
was
great
to
see
McCaskey
High
School
students
at
the
U.S.
Capitol
on
Tuesday!
We
talked
about
the
importance
of
education
and
fiscal
responsibility.
If
you’re
planning
a
trip
to
D.C.,
be
sure
to
let
me
know!

During
the
April
district
work
period,
I
met
with
representatives
from
AIPAC.
I
was
glad
Rabbi
Elazar
Green
of
Rohr
Chabad
Jewish
Student
Center
was
part
of
that
group!
If
you’d
like
to
schedule
a
meeting
with
me,

Last
week
I
visited
ArcelorMittal
in
Coatesville,
Chester
County.
This
is
the
oldest
continuously
operated
steel
mill
in
the
U.S.
it’s
207
years
old!
If
you’d
like
me
to
visit
your
business,
school,
or
other
organization,
you
can
invite
me
here.

It
was
a
pleasure
to
visit
Willow
Valley
Communities
in
Willow
Street.
We
had
a
vigorous
discussion
about
the
issues
facing
our
country,
and
I
am
glad
to
have
received
input
and
opinions
on
a
wide
range
of
topics.

QVC
has
a
one
million
square
foot
warehouse
in
Lancaster.
I
visited
the
facility
last
week
where
they
have
1,500
employees.
Since
opening
in
1987,
they
now
distribute
42
percent
of
all
QVC
sales.
It
was
great
to
speak
with
employees
about
their
work!
You
can
see
more
photos
from
my
visit
here.
