James Rieker has forwarded an email about Kirsten Gillibrand's proposal for a law that would violently compel employers to give paid leave for family reasons. The ones who would pay were this proposal to pass would be the high school and college grads whose
employment prospects will be diminished by higher costs and loss of flexibility.
Monitoring of cheaters and conflict will raise costs; employees who otherwise would have avoided employment will seek jobs in order to
file parental claims. That is not new; bank tellers have long sought
employment right before or after pregnancy. The Pregnancy Discrimination Act of
1978 has prevented employers from discriminating against pregnant job seekers:
They have to treat pregnancy like any other disability. Gillibrand's proposed leave law takes
the incentive to cheat employers one step further. A natural response for
employers will be to hire the elderly, who cannot afford to retire because of America's mismanaged social security-and-pension system, and exclude younger job seekers. Discrimination in favor of those over 40 is
legal under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act.
In any case, the chief people hurt by compulsory family leave are young job
seekers. Since they are Obama’s chief supporters, they will pay for their
ideological choices. Frequently, my students insist that access to public
housing and welfare is more important to them than freedom. As Franklin put it,
“Those Who Sacrifice Liberty For Security Deserve Neither.”
Rieker writes:
Proposed on Jan 23, 2014 at a News Conference at a YMCA on long Island 3
months paid leave to all workers, The Kingston Freeman also carried it on page 5
Jan 24, 2014- Friday. The Conference was by Senator Kirsten Gillibrand stating
that the Senator and other progressive democrats have a plan to expand Family
Leave to All American Workers.
Currently the law offers 3 months unpaid leave to about half of all
American Workers in a Family Emergency. Senator Gillibrand and other Social
Democrats want 3 MONTHS PAID LEAVE FOR ALL UNITED STATES WORKERS. Senator
Kirsten Gillibrand suggest that the Average cost would amount to one cup of
coffee a week!!
Once you offer paid leave it will cost more than a cup of Coffee a week as
Gillibrand suggests. I suppose they based it on the current usage of Unpaid
Family Leave, But that usage will soon snowball when it becomes Paid Leave. I
bet even Gillibrand will use it!! Everyone Will Abuse It!! and the plan is not
written for just medical emergencies, but as a Family crisis, that takes a lot
under its family abuse wing!
Senator why don't you have every worker contribute 2 cups of coffee money a
week into a family leave emergency policy run by Social Security, that pays
interest on the money, and the worker can Get All His Money Back when he
has an emergency, after all Everyone is entitled to it and everyone should
receive it. I think up to half the workers will abuse the Senators Plan and
will do it year in and year out!! It will cause a new government
freeloader class for three months out of every year. The Cost will be
staggering to the Nation in more ways than one.
We heard Kristen's Sob Story that all other industrial ( socialists)
Nations have Paid Family Leave and alluded that we should too. It reminds me of
a kid saying Andrew gets a $100 a week allowance and I should too. NO Kristen
you have to do chores around the house, then you can get an allowance!!
Here are the fun examples of what can and probably will happen!
Mom is getting old and doesn't feel confortable driving since dad passed
away. I plan to comfort her and drive her to her appointments. {So Family Leave
consists of a Daughter helping in a Family Crisis.} The Crisis would be driving
to the Doctor and Dental appointments and going to the hair dresser and
shopping with her mom this winter in Miami Beach. Mom always goes to Miami Beach
every winter. As her daughter it is my duty to help her every year for the few
remaining years my 62 year old mom has left.
My mother is going through a Divorce and she is moving to Myrtle beach. I
must offer my help, after my Family Leave expires please continue my 5 weeks
vacation time, as I plan on taking my vacation after this and the Bahamas are so
close, so my mother and I will take a needed vacation, and do some dating!
My brother has extremely high blood pressure and uneven heart beat, he is
taking pills for anxiety and I must spend time with him, to help him through
this dangerous time. we will be meeting in Las Vegas.
You will see Supervisors and Union officials disappear every year for three
months on your dime. perhaps one third of the work force will disappear in the
busy season on Paid Family Leave. employees are paid for family leave by the
other two thirds who are still working, I bet they will work much harder with a
smaller work force during the busy time with happy faces!! Oh yes!!
The government may have to hire new workers to replace those on Family
Crisis leave, some Real businesses will close, unable to operate on these
uncertain terms, as some businesses have trouble with just vacation and sick
time now!
These Hair Brained Progressive Democratic Schemes always give to those who
don't earn it . When our Country borrows $40 for every $100 it spends .
Spending more money is Ludicrous. that is why we have T axed
E nough A lready party.
