Dad wins fight to increase parental leave for men at JPMorgan Chase
Derek Rotondo won a class-action lawsuit against JPMorgan Chase last week that will result in the company paying $5 million to hundreds of men who filed for primary caregiver leave and were denied in the last seven years, NPR reported. The case stemmed from an incident two years ago when Rotondo told his employer that he wanted to take 16 weeks of paid leave granted to primary caregivers for his newborn son. He says he was told: “Men, as biological fathers, were presumptively not the primary caregiver.” He was only eligible for two weeks’ leave.
