Unions say all mothers should get maternity leave


Quote:


THE nation's "mummy wars" intensified yesterday as unions took up the cause of stay-at-home mums.

ACTU president Sharan Burrow said all women should be paid maternity leave, regardless of whether they had a job.

The approach is at odds with the Rudd Government, which says there will be two classes of mums - those who work and those who stay at home.

Ms Burrow said most women would have been in the workforce before their first child, and most would return to work some day.

"It just seems to us that equal treatment is something that should be considered," she said. "And our scheme was certainly based on arguing for all women."

Under the Productivity Commission's maternity leave model, working mums would receive about $10,800, and stay-at-home mums $5000.

Prime Minister Kevin Rudd has endorsed the approach.

"For the Australian economy of the future we are going to have stay-at-home mums who we will be supporting with the baby bonus and also mums who are in the paid workforce who we will be supporting with paid maternity leave," he said on Monday.

The commission nominated a 20-week scheme - 18 weeks for mums and two weeks for dads at the minimum wage.

Ms Burrow, who initially called for a 14-week scheme, said employers "got off lightly", and they should top up workers' wages to their normal level when they were on maternity leave.

Shadow treasurer Julie Bishop said stay-at-home mums and dads deserved better treatment.

Why don't they just return to the tried and true method of firing women that get pregnant? Then everybody's happy.:)
