Rejected petition Increase maternity pay and leave.

Increase maternity pay and leave.

More details

It is far too hard for parents do live and raise a child with he current financial budget and it is very difficult to return to work when the baby is only few months old. With no help from family members (as not all might have) the parents are pushed to choose between raising a child or obtaining the basis needs.
