The Mourning Meeting: Season 3, Episode 12
Bereavement Leave
Joyal Mulheron and Mairead Peters talk about the efforts to make paid bereavement leave a reality for all Americans, and the current situation that allows for workers, particularly low-wage earners, to be fired for taking a day off of work after a family member dies. Mairead shares what it was like as a college student to lose two family members and the pressures she felt at work and at school to perform and make money. Joyal shares what we can all do to get involved and advocate for employee support after a death.
