Steve Fulop on Families & Children

 

 


Sixth city in the US to ensure paid sick leave

During his time as Mayor, Steven has shown what smart, progressive leadership can accomplish--opening a new chapter for Jersey City. Under his leadership, Jersey City became the 1st city in New Jersey--and the 6th city in the United States--to ensure paid sick leave. Mayor Steven Fulop has led the city to record economic development, benefiting families of all income levels--all without raising taxes.

Require companies to grant paid sick leave

Unemployment has dropped from 8.8% when Mr Fulop was elected to 5%. While Mr Fulop, a Democrat, has streamlined regulations and expedited business approvals, he is protective of the city's industrial past. "Grittiness makes the city special. We don't want to become a Main Street with chain stores." He has also pushed a progressive agenda. Under his watch, the city became the first in the state (and sixth in the country) to require companies to grant paid sick leave. It is the first New Jersey city to have a transgender health care programme. More affordable housing has been built, even along the desirable waterfront, in the past two and a half years than in the previous ten.
