“Free” stuff has to be paid for by someone. Is it the business? Then it is a cost that will be managed and minimized, meaning that the most likely scenario is that expectant moms get fired.
Is it a government benefit? Then it will probably be funded by borrowing it from future generations. And we will get started now in paying interest on it, meaning even more for someone down the road to get the bill for.
“Discriminates against employees that don’t take time off.”
Reminds me of the NUMEROUS smoke breaks that were given while I was in the Army and it was still OK to smoke. Man, if you had a CO or First Sergeant that smoked, you got breaks all the time.
After a while, I just went and hung around the smokers so I got as many breaks as they did.
But, then, my true nature kicked back in and I kept my nose to the grindstone, answered the phones and helped anyone that needed it and did MORE than my fair share of the workload while they smoked and joked.
A 10-hour shift equated to about 100 minutes (an hour and 40 minutes - for those reading in Rio Linda) of ‘break’ time.
And I got promoted long before any of them did. True Story. Happy Ending. :)
There are exceptions to everything.
We’re not picking on women like you. We’re concerned that Mother Government will mandate this and stick her nose in where it doesn’t belong.
If the employer WANTS to pay their employee while she’s on maternity recovery, fine. It’s NOT Mother Government’s job to, ‘babysit’ every aspect of our lives. She does ENOUGH damage as it is.
*Steps Off Libertarian Soapbox* LOL!
“But far worse is the massive child care credit that Ivanka got into the last tax bill. That is not only destructive to families, but a huge cost to taxpayers.”
Yep. For some hare-brained reason, Governor Walker is giving everyone with kids an extra $100 tax cut per head, here in Wisconsin.
Exactly.
And when it comes to a vote, the Dems will be on board as it’s, ‘For The Children.’
Meh.
