[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I suspect that this policy will backfire and cause hard-to-prove discrimination against women in the labor force unless/until men also take parental leave. Also I wonder how the "caring for a family member" element will play out. Would someone be able to take 12 weeks of paid leave every year (every x years??) for this purpose?[/quote] I hear this argument all the time but I think the hiring managers who will discriminate against women are already doing it, because "she'll just leave." There's no leave for caring for a family member in this, unfortunately. There was in the original Federal Employees Paid Leave Act that Maloney introduced but only the parental leave made it through negotiations.[/quote]
