Has he gone on the record opposing the right of workers to use their weekends as they see fit? Just curious, because that is exactly what he is asking for in this Speakership negotiation.

Neither. He was asking to not give up his *weekend* trips home to his district in Wisconsin (where he spends time with his family and interacts with his constituents). He promised to spend Monday through Friday working as the Speaker, just like regular American workers, but did not want to get sucked in to spending…

TIL there is no difference between (a) refusing to take a promotion if it means you will have to work weekends and lose valuable family time and (b) opposing *federally-mandated* *paid* leave for employees of public and private companies. Thanks, Erin!
