Make this a public battle. I'm finding it hard to get my head around people not supporting this idea since it's a staple of most western nations and even common in our own country in some places. ed notes onlinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15018047869059226777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33431390.post-21981785123302257892017-09-26T04:20:02.357-04:002017-09-26T04:20:02.357-04:00We all know what our union does.

I'm not in favor.

It...Paid leave is going to be paid for by somebody. It is either going to be paid for outright by the taxpayers or by UFT members via givebacks. However, paid maternity leave is not the same as healthcare. Everybody gets sick at some time in their career and or will get hurt via accidents of which is no fault of their own. Therefore paid healthcare is essential. On the the other hand, deciding, planning, and then having a child is an individual, willful choice that many, many, people choose to make. That choice is personal and as such, many people have a hard time accepting that other individuals who are not choosing that lifestyle should not have to give up working conditions via givebacks in sick bank reduction, etc. This mentality is not the sole thought of male teachers. There are many female teachers who also choose to live child free by choice.

I do not think that the city should pay for maternity leave. Having a child is a choice and is not the same as getting sick where insurance is needed. The taxpayers should not front the bill for paid maternity leave and NYC teachers who choose to never have kids of their own should not be forced to loose sick days which is the current rumor.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
