Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg has spoken out about his decision to take paternity leave after the birth of his twins, calling it 'important work.'
A Department of Transportation spokesperson told ABC News that for the first four weeks after the birth of his children, Buttigieg was"mostly offline except for major agency decisions and matters that could not be delegated."
"The Secretary feels fortunate and grateful to be able to take time to focus on his responsibilities as a father, and believes all American parents deserve the same," the spokesperson said in a statement."The president's Build Back Better vision calls for paid family leave for all Americans, and the Secretary now brings new perspective to his efforts to push for the Biden-Harris Administration’s push to ensure every American has access to paid leave."U.S.

Just 13% of employees in the U.S. work in a job where paid paternity leave is offered to all male workers, according to Day.
