U.S. Lags Way Behind In Family/Work Policies
It’s hard to believe that this country is so far behind others when it comes to taking care of its employees with families! For any of you working moms out there, you know what I’m talking about.
The majority of “wealthy” countries provide guaranteed policies that the US has yet to adopt. Especially when it comes to paternity leave. Dad’s are not guaranteed any time off when their kids are born, it all depends on your company. You could actually lose your job for taking such time off!
There are also no laws ensuring time for a woman to breast feed her baby while she’s at work. You would think with all of the working moms in the US, we would be able to offer fairly good benefits when it comes to families and the people that take care of them.
According to this study, new legislation may be on its way, it just amazes me that it’s taken so long. There are definitely some tips this country can pick up on from others around the world.
