Washington, D.C. – U.S. Senator Patty Murray (D-WA) Chair of the Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions (HELP) joined U.S. Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-MA), Congresswoman Jan Schakowsky (D-IL-09), Congresswoman Rosa DeLauro (D-CT-03), Congresswoman Barbara Lee (D-CA-13), Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley (D-MA-07), and Congresswoman Katie Porter (D-CA-45) in reintroducing the Part-Time Worker Bill of Rights Act. The legislation would strengthen protections for part-time workers and allow them to better balance their work schedules with personal and family needs. The legislation will address one of the primary issues that hourly workers face — work schedules that do not provide as many hours as they need to support their families — and provide additional protections and benefits for part-time workers.
“Every single worker deserves the protections and benefits they need to make ends meet and support their families—and that absolutely includes part-time workers,” said Senator Murray. “It’s past time we ensure part-time workers aren’t short-changed on hours and have access to critical benefits full-time workers already get, like family and medical leave and access to a retirement plan. I’m proud to join my colleagues to introduce the Part-Time Worker Bill of Rights Act to help ease the stress that so many part-time workers are dealing with and build back an economy that works for everyone.”
