Paternity Leave: A Step Toward Stronger Families
For Johnathan, a young employee and member of the Antigua and Barbuda Workers’ Union, becoming a father was one of the most profound experiences of his life. Elated by the arrival of his newborn, he describes the joy of fatherhood as a true “grace from God.” The privilege of hearing his child call him “Dad” fills him with immense pride and purpose. But there’s another reason why Johnathan feels especially grateful as he embarks on this new journey: for the first time, he’s able to benefit from paternity leave—a benefit secured for fathers like him by the Antigua & Barbuda Workers' Union (ABWU).
