It is interesting to watch the battle and or discussions of rights recently. We have a dictator like power up here called "Order in Council". Doesn't even need a discussion or the light of day, and rights are stripped away with a stroke of a pen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, but government controls most everything from the speed you drive to the food on the grocery store shelves. It's insidious IMO, but I'm a libertarian...leave me the fuck alone. Women should not lose their job for getting pregnant, but does the current protections and benefits go too far or not far enough? I'm unsure as I can see it from many points of view, even as a dude with no kids Edited June 25, 2022 by Voodoo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Platinum Contributing Member Highmark Posted June 27, 2022 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted June 27, 2022 (edited) Companies use to offer to pay for adoption too but can't do that anymore and stay within the good graces of the liberal nut bags. Its kill it or nothing mentality. Edited June 27, 2022 by Highmark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So if the employer does not have a policy, the state must pay maternity leave? As in one way or the other, there is money paid to the off work employee? I'm a little torn on that aspect. I agree an equivalent job should be waiting if at all possible, after an agreed to before hand time frame. I believe it's a choice to have children and the future parents should be financially capable of this, without government handouts or undue burdens on employers. That's just my libertarian streak coming through again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Federal employees get one and its paid up to 12 weeks. Most companies offer something. You must give 8 weeks off but do not have to pay any. Around me 4-6 paid is fairly common. Get a woman who popping out puppies and a matter of years the fed govt pays them a whole years work for it.

This is just another lame Woke move for them to get in the Spotlight again because they lost $143M from the plandemic.
