RIA Novosti reports about this.
The first bill was introduced by a group of deputies from the Liberal Democratic Party. They proposed supplementing the Russian Labor Code with provisions guaranteeing the right of parents of schoolchildren to have a day off without pay on September 1.
The second similar bill was introduced into the State Duma by the first deputy head of the “A Just Russia - For Truth” faction, Dmitry Gusev.
Mikhail Tarasenko, a member of the State Duma Labor Committee, explained the rejection of the bills by saying that if 34 million parents of schoolchildren do not go to work on September 1, this will lead to difficulties in the employment sector.
Earlier, State Duma deputy Yana Lantratova proposed introducing into the Labor Code a norm on five-day leave for working citizens on the occasion of the birth of grandchildren.
