Patricia Reveles, a CVS pharmacy technician in Los Angeles and a single mother, recently asked her employer to reduce her work hours so she could be home with her daughter who is in fourth grade. “I like my job and I am thankful for it, but I am a single parent and I can’t be there for my daughter,” she said.
