Related: About this forumGood news/bad news: Christians are calling for better family leave policies.
From the somewhat long article:
A prominent Christian think tank has come out fiercely in favor of better family leave policies, defending federally mandated family leave policies on theological grounds.
Christian families can form themselves along a divine vision of work and family as holistic complements, a report released Tuesday reads. As citizens and culture-shapers, Christians should advocate for and develop policies and practices that protect, rather than fragment, family time.
The report, authored by Katelyn Beaty and Rachael Anderson of the Center for Public Justice, advocates for changes on a federal scale, calling for an expansion of the Family Medical Leave Act. Pushing beyond public policy, though, the report also specifically targets gender imbalances within families.

Another part is: what took them so long?

What on Earth does Christianity have to do with something as purely secular as that?
It has nothing whatever to do with religion.
