s/o maternity leave

[ttt]

Are there any major groups pushing for improved maternity leave in this country? I would be very interested in getting involved with a group like this.

This doesn't really answer your question, but maybe you could look into what prompted mat leave changes in other countries?
I know when I was a kid, mat leave was 12 weeks in Canada. Then it become 6 months, then 1 year. I have no idea what led to the changes.

I shall try and google for you.

I haven't heard of many...I'd be interested also.

I found this on change.org, but that's it...

The only thing I've seen is the change.org petition which is... useless I assume?

From time to time there is a paid FMLA bill that pops up in Congress. I think the last was in 2009. www.hrmorning.com/paid-fmla-bill-pops-up-again-in-congress/
