Dan Osborn: Mandatory bereavement leave for all workers

Mandatory bereavement leave for all workers. Too many Americans are unable to grieve their family members. Once upon a time, family-oriented firms would give workers a break; today's multinational mega-corporations will force an employee to work through the death of their own child without blinking an eye. Addressing the shortcomings of the 2022 agreement imposed on railroaders. In particular, I will work to pass legislation guaranteeing seven days of paid sick leave to all rail workers.

Deb Fischer: Religious liberty trumps same-sex marriage protection

LGBTQ Rights:

Deb Fischer (R): Limit. In 2022 voted against a bill to protect same-sex marriages in case the Supreme Court reversed legalization decision; bill "could infringe upon religious liberties."
Dan Osborn (I): Likely expand. Supports protecting gay marriage. "I oppose discrimination for any reason and think people's private lives are no business but their own."
