So, is trump for maternity leave or not? (pay, jobs, women)

Do the trumps actually have any idea whatsoever wht the situation is like for 'average people'? Do they care at all? I think not.

"G-III, the business that designs and distributes Ivanka’s clothing line, does not offer paid maternity leave to employees. Several workers spoke to the Post (on the condition of anonymity for fear of losing their jobs), including one who said she used up all of her vacation days and savings to take time off when she had her baby last year. However, a spokesperson for Ivanka’s business told the Post that the company offers eight weeks of paid leave to new mothers."

So if I run a business, and someone decides to have a child....I am expected to pay for them to be off at least 3 mo, doing no work, but getting paid? Sounds like if people want that benefit, they should go to an employer that offers that benefit....

It would seem from the article that the women got paid maternity leave.


Trump talked about changing the laws, I guess that isn't enough for you.
