FLUSHING, NY( TIP)  Council Member Peter Koo stated, January 7, in a statement  to The Indian Panorama that he thanked Mayor Bill de Blasio  for his  order to provide six weeks of paid parental leave to non-unionized city employees.

“I want to thank the Mayor for taking a brave stance and swift action on paid parental leave. The first weeks following birth are critical to establishing the parent/child bond, and no parent should be forced to choose between taking care of their newborn baby and returning to work. I strongly encourage our city’s unions to match this noble effort, and make New York City the compassionate model for paid parental leave throughout the nation.”
