[QUOTE="rickyb, post: 2527296, member: 56035"] i was listening to richard wolff's monthly economic update. he was commenting on how swedish company IKEA is now providing its workers with 18 weeks maternity leave in america by volition of the free market. he then commented how swedish workers have 68 weeks maternity leave which is planned by government law and its been that way for a long time. he then mentioned that in the free market in america, 30 of the 60 biggest US corporations provide no maternity leave for their workers and the rest provide just a fraction of what pretty much every other developed country plans by law. he also mentioned something about american workers being male or poor or i forget what the other thing was which will decrease whatever minuscule maternity leave they receive.
