    My employer had 4 employees, and still I got a 4 month maternity leave in the Netherlands. The size of the company shouldn't matter. The US is seriously effed up.

    • @LarisseMontrose
      @LarisseMontrose ปีที่แล้ว +4

      It really shouldn't. In the US though we've seen small businesses as the underdog for decades since companies like walmart drove so many out of business and took the profits out of our communities. For a lot of people (and lawmakers) that's morphed into venerating/pitying small business owners and now they legally get away with things that a larger business can't.
      It's ridiculous.

    Having a child in the US still equals to disability....? In Germany, you are NOT allowed to work 6 weeks prior to the calculated birth date. You also can't be fired between the time of announcing the pregnancy until 4 months after have given birth. These are just two of the many more examples. Why are women not marching on the streets for their rights and especially for the well-being of their children?

      Not even all states provide a short-term disability option either. Meaning anyone who doesn’t get paid maternity leave from their work/is self-employed, doesn’t get paid leave after having a baby. *Me.*
      It’s been so stressful for me knowing I’ll have 0 income for however long I take my leave. It’s also right before tax season for me too which is already extremely rough because I’m self-employed.
      So I’ll have a hospital bill, pediatrician bills, my personal expenses like my rentals, car insurance, phone, health, etc
      AND have to pay almost 10k for taxes right after I get back to work. (That’s even after my estimated payments I’ve been making.) I hate it here. America SUCKS.

      Same in Switzerland. From the beginning of pregnancy till 4 month after there is no firing. 14 weeks of maternity leave are mandatory (!!!). All of this is payed by the public hand. And to be honest, i love paying taxes here, because those things like this woman has to go throught are not normal. It's not sitting on the high horse but come on US, you can do this better. It's not about wellfare state, it's about taking care of you fellow men (and woman).

    He's right. It's illegal to discriminate.
    It's called FMLA and it's a fed law that stipulates 12 weeks of unpaid leave, job protection, & health insurance must be maintained.
    With that being said, the co. must have 50 or more employees.
    Also, the boss doesn't have to file for your disability. She can file it herself with the state & there is noting he can do.
    Allow him to fire you, collect unemployment, & stay home with the newborn til you find a new position.
    Register for financial aid & plus loan, go back to school online so you'll be hm with the baby.
    A health radio technologist pays $65-$85K yr & it's a 2 yr program.
    Apply for loan forgiveness as you qualify as a helping field career.
    Schooling goes both ways...
    Your hubby like cars. If he gets his 2 yr auto tech lic his salary jumps to over $100/hr for domestic autos & greater with imports like audi...

I had to hr approval to wear materiny clothes. They would write me up for Bogus stuff and had enough 2 weeks before I was due to let me go. It was the worst experience of my life. So when you think you are saving that 15%, this is how the employees behinds the scenes are taking the hit, just saying.

    First: he's not telling her that she "can't" have a baby, he's telling her that these are her options as far as the company policy goes (which don't include denying her having a baby). Just that "you can do x or y, but not z" as far as taking time off. that's it. There are NO Rights being denied.
    Second: this has nothing to do with her desire to have a baby, it's solely based on the logistical functioning of the company there are MANY laws that apply to large companies but not small companies, This is mainly due to the need of the company to be able to continue functioning if the employee is out for a long period of time. If an employee is going to be missing and it impacts the functioning of the company significantly, then they are allowed to either limit how long that employee is gone (with in the limits of the law and company policy) OR they are allowed to replace that employee. Simple as that. JUST LIKE she has the right to decide to not work for that company anymore if her circumstances change and she doesn't feel that working for that company benefits her anymore... Now, some small companies are able to work around an employee being missing for long periods, and that's great. But some companies can't, and that's why they are allowed to opt out of things like maternity leave.
    Third: she is always free to not work for that company at her choosing, she is not a slave of the company and they have no say in her choice to continue working there... If she feels that she would like for another company that has the benefits that she desires, then she should apply to that company... Simple (and I have done this several times in my life).
    Forth: Telling women to sue a company for things that are legal for them to do will only 1. get her fired, 2. cost her legal fees AND possibly punitive fines when the company wins, 3. falsely encourage other people to try and go down this same path and end up in the same situation (losing money they probably don't have) without understanding that what they're trying to do is futile and won't work out for them either.
    Fifth: IF you don't agree with the laws as they are written, then work to have them changed, DON'T encourage people to fight against something that is already legal.
    Sixth: trying to force companies (especially small companies) to take on things (laws or policies) that significantly apply to one sex will actually cause them to hire LESS people of that sex in order to lessen the impact to that company due to those laws or policies. Example, a small company has 35 employees. 6 women quit or take 6 months leave in order to start families. Later, the company will try and hire men instead of women to fill those positions the next time those positions are vacant. Even though it seems 'sexist' for this to happen, in reality it's about logistics. The needs of the company will come first to those that make the decisions about the wellbeing of the company.
    Seventh: DON'T try to compare the U.S. laws to those that are socialists or semi-socialists countries. Their leave is paid for through the government from taxpayers' money. IF they company is paying the employee for that time off, the company is being reimbursed from the government for what they are paying the employee. Thus, the employee is actually paying for their time off with their taxes.

    I firmly believe that we need to implement a sick leave as well as maternity & paternity leave programs for all workers in this country. I personally feel that every time worker in this country regardless of their job should be guaranteed at least 2 weeks of sick leave & 2 weeks vacation per year. In addition to guaranteed sick leave, we also need to allow both mothers & fathers who just had a baby to be guaranteed time off with pay as well, so that way businesses can ensure that their employees at all levels can come into work feeling their best & contributing their best physically and mentally everyday.
    Finally, I firmly believe that "Working Poor" should not be a thing! If you work full time every week of the year, you shouldn't be living at or below the poverty line in this country! Hence why I feel there should be a Universal Basic Income for every American citizen above the age of 16 based on what the poverty level is so that way no one who works full time should have to financially struggle to get by.

    My late grandma and mother always told me that I have a face that said " Don't even dream of trying me", and clearly I do, because I have never ever had any employer say even a 1\10th of this bs.
    I once worked for a man who had a reputation of screaming sooo violently at his assistants. That they quit under a weeks time, so my 5'3\18 yr old self interview with his wife. She asked what would I do if he yelled at me. I asked if the office was still on the 15th floor? She said it was. I asked if her husband has suddenly grown wings? She said he hadn't. I then asked if the glass in the window was tempted reinforced. She said no it was just regular. I advised that her husband should never yell, scream, threaten, or try to harm me. For I would toss him out the window, and time the fall.

    I wish her the best. She is not the first woman to have gone through this and probably won't be the last. I myself was fired the day before I had my son, because the company I worked for at the time didn't give maternity leave to seasonal employees. And the human resources people said there was nothing they could do, and to go find another job, if my family needed the money so much, and I was wanting to still work. If the businesses out there think they can get away with these insane things to employees, they keep doing it. But it is the employees who suffer.

    The job I had back when I was pregnant with my first child, I had planned to use up a bunch of vacation and sick time where I could take off nearly a month before he was due. Shortly before i was due to go on leave I get informed that a coworker wanted to take a week of vacation time before I go on leave and that I was to cover her duties on top of mine that week - I was working as a housekeeper at an inpatient medical facility. This was challenging work covering my own work while several months pregnant - let alone double the work. Though I did what I could, needless to say, I had several complaints from staff that week that things were not done to their liking. Also, the original idea to have the extra weeks before giving birth to get last minute things ready for the baby didn't go as planned - he ended up arriving nearly three weeks early. I wonder if the additional stress from that last week working contributed to that.

This law or something similar to it is nothing new in NYS. However, if it is in writing that she cannot have a baby, while employed at her place of business and she signed some type of contract or policy relating thereto, she must adhere to it. I would suggest that she look into this matter further, legally, as there is free legal service (consultation) available pertaining to this subject matter.
