Possible Progress
I'm sure that people in the know will be able to explain all the shortcomings that aren't obvious to me, but the British government has apparently just published a new Work and Families Bill that actually provides paternity leave. Maternity leave will be increased to 9 months, but if a mother returns to work before her leave is up, fathers can go on leave.
Is there any legislation pending in the United States that would provide general policies of maternity and paternity leave? I ask that, knowing what the answer is, given this government, its claim to want states to look after themselves, and its passion for the interests of corporations.
Still, news like this is welcome.
