TWENTY-THREE YEARS AGO today, newly elected President Bill Clinton signed the Family Medical Leave Act into law. Since 1993, the law has provided full-time American workers with 12 weeks of unpaid leave to care for family members or an unborn child. That’s a powerful thing. But now, there seems to be growing support for more substantial paid family leave.
...
But according to the Department of Labor, only 12 percent of US private companies offer workers some kind of paid leave. That’s a significant problem for the many who can’t afford to take unpaid time off or may feel pressure not to do so. In fact, the United States lags behind much of the rest of the world when it comes to these kind of paid family benefits.

It is really a shame that the U.S. is one of only a handful of countries that does not provide paid maternity leave. You would think that paid family leave would be a popular issue among pro-life, pro-family, Christian conservative families. But unfortunately it isn't. This will hopefully be one of Clinton's first achievements.

Paid p/maternity leave is not required nationally, but you'd be hard pressed to find a 40 hr/week job that doesn't give it.

I think you are grossly overestimating the generosity of business or greatly underestimating the amount of people who work full time minimum and low wage jobs.

Even having unpaid leave is hard to come by for many in the US.

his point was that most career-oriented jobs offer competitive benefits, including PTO and p/maternity leave.  Your quote from wiki includes non-full time workers (that is one aspect the mention of the "brevity of their tenure" alludes to).

I am lucky enough to work for a company that offers a pretty great maternity leave package (i think it is up to 6 months).  But I do think it is a terrible thing that companies are not required to offer PTO/paid family leave.  There are many issues with the relationship between employers, employees and government that needs to be addressed.  Workers Comp is a huge cost sink.  Payroll taxes need to be looked at.  And yes, paid maternity leave.

I hope Clinton gets arrested or has to bow out of the race due to pressure from her dubious email set up.  How crazy would that be if she and Bill shared the honor of impeachment proceedings brought against them.

wishing death upon someone is not good.  Why so much hatred for Bernie? I know you said you don't like that he is a one issue guy, but the alternative is someone who says pretty much anything to get elected.  Is that really the source of all your hate?

He is splitting the democrat party and is unfairly delegitimizing the primary process. Trump is such an anathema to me that I am willing to stomach literally any democrat over him. And anyone who hurts the democrat coalition in 2016 should be destroyed. I don't even particularly care for Clinton. Reread the OP for the president thread. I wanted O'Malley.

No, DickFace. I hate him for dragging out a primary that has been statistically impossible for him to win for almost 2 month.

He could be referring to the petite bourgeois. The level of bourgeois who don't own the means of production but either manage it or work independently. Despite their precarious position they have absorbed the ideology of the capitalist class. The petite bourgeois are responsible for most of the small scale suffering afflicted on the proletariat.

If Jay sells enough of his labor and shows a willingness to exploit his fellow proles, he may temporarily be lifted into the petite bourgeois where he can help alienate proles from their labor.

Or we can enact full communism.
