SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 865
|
|
|
WHEREAS, Mother's Day is a celebration of motherhood that |
|
|
was first observed in the United States in 1908; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Women represent the fastest-growing segment of |
|
|
the United States workforce and now make up 47 percent of the |
|
|
total civilian labor force; women of childbearing age form a |
|
|
large segment of the labor market, and among all women with |
|
|
children under age three, 60 percent are in the workforce; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Working mothers include full-time mothers, those |
|
|
who work from home, those who work in the public and private |
|
|
sectors, and, particularly, those who work at the Texas Senate; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Working mothers especially thrive in family-friendly |
|
|
workplaces, including workplaces that support new mothers by |
|
|
providing them the opportunity to achieve work-life balance, peer |
|
|
support, and the privacy and flexibility necessary for them to reach |
|
|
their breastfeeding goals; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Many organizations across the state provide |
|
|
information and support for working mothers, including information |
|
|
about achieving work-life balance, identifying peer support, and |
|
|
breastfeeding their infants; now, therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 83rd |
|
|
Legislature, hereby express its gratitude to all mothers, |
|
|
especially to those who work in the Texas Senate; extend its best |
|
|
wishes for a memorable Mother's Day; and commend the efforts of |
|
|
all who promote family-friendly work environments for mothers; |
|
|
and, be it further |
|
|
RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared in |
|
|
honor of this special occasion. |
