The U.S USED to be a country where one spouse's wages could buy a house and provide at least a decent living to a FAMILY where the other parent was home with children. Just another disaster in the U.S. Don't hold your breath thinking THIS country will change for the better. 😞
Black Americans have been living this life since 1865. When you live in the richest country in the world but as a group you have never been made whole economically $1000 = $1 in America.
I went back to work 2 weeks after having my son via c-section I won't even go into having to put off going to the doctor and going without medication because I don't have the money
I can’t even imagine having to leave a child, only beeing two months, in someone elses care. I think that even one year is a little early. What a brave boy, going through cancer at that age. My heart breaks for the families. 😢 I don’t understand why the American people vote for this system, a system that forces them to make this horrible choises.
We are spoon fed propaganda from from cradle to grave. The internet and smartphones bringing it to everyone's hand is finally allowing some of us to actually see beyond the falsehoods we were raised on. Even then, you will only stumble upon the truth if you go looking for it and only believe it is true when something rocks your faith in the belief in the bullshit you were raised to accept
"It sounds wonderful but there is a cost... Hold on.... Wall Street, is that you calling? What's that? You need a bailout? No problem!! Coming your way!!" Our priorities in this country are really screwed up.
Unfortunately this story is so true and it's not whether what party should or shouldn't be in control it's the fact that you have a military I repeat a military that has a budget of 2 billion dollars a day wake up America
6 months of paid leave is alot. At the old job I had ppl truly abused the fmla policy..... ppl hated the job and everyone went to the doctors and came up with excuses to not come to work. Ppl used it to the extreme. And while I believe fmla is a good thing generally for ppl who truly have a real medical issue, I understand why businesses don't want to expand it. You would have new hires using it (because it not hard to get a medical diagnosis nowadays) and then taking off for weeks or month getting paid for time they they aren't working..... then the ppl who do show up to work have to cover the slack bc ppl who abused the fmla policy bc they are too lazy to come to work or bc they hate their job. If you want to stay home 6 months with your new baby then just find a new job after your baby is 6 months old....why should the company and coworkers pay for your choices?
Very glad to see an Al Jazeera story come up on my Google News feed. I was complaining to them just a couple weeks ago that this good source never appears on Google News, whereas a propaganda source like Fox News does many times a day. Watching this video with interest. I could do without the emotional background music, myself - one person's opinion.
Your google news feed populates based on the stories you've already read and the news sites where those stories were published. Google doesn't just place in front of you whatever it pleases. It's algorithm that feeds you things you are most likely to read. Read news from better sources and your feed will more often show you stories from those sources.
@@hymbaughtube They are very heavy on Fox News stories which I almost never read, and Washington Examiner which NO ONE reads or ever heard of. So I think their algorithms must be based on something else, like ... I've never quite figured it out. I get a lot of sports and celebrity stories which I never read, and have even tried to delete those sections which doesn't seem to be an option any more. If you have a link to a good article on how it works, I'd be interested - thanks.
This is a sad situation. However, the company could go bankrupt if forced to pay maternity. As stated in the video, it was a small, 15 person company. Should the government force the small business to pay maternity leave, even if it means the company may go out of business? Additionally, small companies will be more inclined to hire men if they will be forced to pay maternity leave. So is the answer to force paid paternity leave too? Companies need every employee because otherwise they wouldn't have hired them. Paid maternity leave requires the business to pay a wage while the employee isn't filling the role they were hired for. So now the company may need to hire someone else or production stops.
What about when the husband wants a divorce? What about unplanned pregnancy? I'd hazard a guess that you don't believe in abortion, so what if the man bails or the baby is a product of sexual assault which happens a lot more than you think? What about mom's who were working and the pregnancy destroyed their health? Or they were in an accident? Etc...Stop drinking the kool-aid and thinking that just because you managed, everyone can. No two people live the same lives with the same opportunities and luck offered to them. Not everyone is born at the same intellectual potential to be able to obtain the type of degrees and certifications necessary for a decent paying job. You only know your own story. It doesn't negate the reality of others
It’s an option in America and most places don’t offer it. Most jobs in America is contractual work and contractors don’t get leave at all not unless the stat makes it mandatory. Maryland lucky makes it mandatory for each check you get 1 to 5 hours of paid leave. In other states it’s not in place.

You should not leave a month old infant at a day care.
aped pay them maternity leave, if not that’s the only choice. Welcome to America

That's why Bernie Sanders is looking better than the rest.
Laila al Arian's show needs to double their production while we are all stuck at home please!

It's a failing system
I know the solution, vote for ALL THE CANDIDATES THAT ARE AGAINST FREE HEALTHCARE ... .because socialism is bad. -_-
Socialism is great if you only know how to make it work for the people
There is nothing wrong is someone like Bill gate who I admire gives half of his wealth away to needy people , he would still own 50 Billion .
just pass UBI and we won’t have any of this nonsense
It is certainly possible, but the only problem is that there is too much corporate greed.
This why we need Bernie
Why are they all single mums . be a strong independent wxmn
Bomb hungry children. This is KARMA.
NY does 1/2 pay for FMLA, will go up to 2/3 within a few years.

A tool to divide the rich and poor.
The Average Usonan lacks what The Costa Ricans take for granted.

Why are they all single mums. What happened to being a strong independent wxmen
Ok incel .
Knew this the 2nd month of the virus.
This sounds like a 3rd world country
It's called an emergency fund. Don't look to the government if you are not willing to prepare for hard times.

Single mums!
Don't have babies until you find a good man. In the meantime, develop your career.

I’m sorry you can’t take off months and expect to keep a job.
aped please shut up
Oh, is that so? Then how come in my country you can?
you want more money because you are greedy. I don't travel around the world I have enough money to leave work for a month
so find a job with paid leave that's easy.
no it's not, in the US.
