Ivanka Trump's Employees Don't Enjoy Paid Family Leave

[the_human_being]

A lot of companies don't. Most food service companies don't as well as many others. You said the company that makes her line of clothes. Does she actually own that company? Cindy Crawford has a line of furniture that bears her name and she does commercials in support, Cindy does not however, own the furniture company itself. Does Michael Jordan own Nike? I don't think so.

Good point, and that's why...
That’s why [Sarah Jane] Glynn says, “Paid family leave is a fundamental, basic labor right to which all people should have access.” It shouldn’t be up to businesses alone to provide the benefit, she adds. “As a society, we need to provide that. Leaving it fully up to the market is not the best mindset to understand this issue.”

Especially because, just as the life circumstances that might require someone to take leave from work — and get paid for that time — are out of an individual’s control, there are also circumstances that might prohibit a business from being able to provide paid family leave to its employees, even if it might want to.

“This is a large-scale societal issue,” says Glynn. “Everyone needs benefits for when people can’t work, for whatever reason, whether because someone has had a baby or whether someone is trying to take care of their mom who is really ill.” The thinking behind not doing businesses with companies that don’t provide paid family leave “makes sense as a model, but my concern is that if this is only expected of employers to do, there will always be some companies that, for whatever reason, have a really hard time being able to do so,” she adds. “There are lots of factors that make it hard for businesses [to be able to provide paid family leave] on their own that have nothing to do with selfishness or greed or not wanting to do the right thing.”

Furthermore, Glynn explains, countries that do make paid family leave available only through an employer mandate often end up seeing widespread employment discrimination as a result.

“If you’re expecting businesses to take [paid family leave] on 100 percent themselves — if you’re just looking at maternity leave, for example, it can make people reticent to hire women,” points out Glynn. “It makes hiring young women more expensive if a company is expected to be paying maternity leave 100 percent themselves.”

Which is why Glynn feels that paid leave is absolutely essential, but it needs to be addressed outside of the private sector — namely, with the federal government’s involvement.

[Sarah Jane] Glynn explains that the vast majority of other countries, and every other advanced economy, offers paid family leave as a government benefit; in none of these economies are businesses themselves expected to provide paid leave to their employees 100 percent on their own. The U.S., by comparison, is the only country in which it’s up to employers to fully and independently fund any kind of paid leave offered to their employees.


RWNJ hero D. Trump understands average Joe's and Jane's need help with Family Paid Leave/maternity leave but-----but D. Trump is so far removed from the reality of everyday peoples-everyday lives that he doesn't understand that a tax break for family/maternity leave would be a benefit for people with high incomes but do very little to nothing for the low the income people he professes to want to help.

That's exactly what we need -- more government meddling. Soon, they will be allocating the times you can go pee in a day.

The thread title is a lie.
At least make the title honest.

Not really. Strong Ivanka could condition licensing her line upon paid leave. Of course I doubt many in the garment industry have paid leave. Although, I don't see Donald making "change" an issue.

^^^What horseshit

Ivanka is woman warrior like Yara Greyjoy!

ummmmmmmm, you might want to look further into that.

Ivanka Trump's Employees Don't Enjoy This Basic Benefit
August 8, 2016

Ivanka Trump was one of the highlights of the last day of the Republican National Convention. Her speech was well-anticipated, as she has been one of the greatest successes of Trump’s children.

During her speech, she highlighted her passion for one particular issue: protecting working mothers.

“Policies that allow women with children to thrive should not be novelties.
They should be the norm.”​

Yet one has to question this kind of language when they find that the company which designs her clothing does not offer even a single day of paid family leave to their employees.
.

It's not her company, you witless douche bag. She can't control the personnel policies of every company she does business with. Next you'll be blaming her for the personnel policies at McDonald's if she buys a hamburger there.

Liberals are so stupid it's breathtaking.

They allow anything as long as you insert the word business to it

I haven't heard about anyone getting killed in any of Trump's business like 4 of Hillary's employees did.

So people should get paid when they don't work?

Left wingers just want to give businesses another reason not to hire women.

Here's a clue for you: pregnancy is not out of your control.

Who the fuck is Sarah Jane?

Why should people who don't have kids be taxed to pay the expenses of people who squeeze out an entire litter of puppies? Liberalism is all about making 'A' pay the expenses of 'B,' and the later is always an irresponsible layabout.

The Democrats must be feeling terrified to offer up such nonsense. These are not Ivanka Trump's employees, they work for another company that has a licensing agreement with Trump. I understand you have to make this kind of crap because if the campaign focuses on the issues, Clinton will certainly lose.

Like her daddy - Ivanka is a natural born liar.

 

[Ray From Cleveland]

She doesn't own G-III Apparel so they are not her "employees"....nice try loon

Thank You....
I saw this being discussed today....
Ivanka has a business relationship with a company that treats their employees differently....

This has nothing to do with Donald Trump or his daughter....

Will that make a difference to the Hillary supporters ....
Probably not.
They are not interested in the truth.

This is yet another Romney tied the dog cage to the roof of his car, or Romney allowed the husband of a female worker to die because he got rid of the company healthcare.

These liberals keep telling us how this election is already in the bag; there is no way Trump will win. Yet we see the same desperate strategies over and over again.

I don't think these liberals are as confident as they sound.

Liberals are so stupid it's breathtaking.

In July, Sammy Aaron, vice chairman of G-III, told Forbes that Trump is “very involved on a weekly basis” in the design process. Yet, the company’s policy breaks from Trump’s public stance on how businesses should support working moms.​

Are you wrongly implying that I. Trump could not have found a company with a better labor record than G-III Apparel Group - seriously?

I would think that I. Trump should have/would have - could have been a little more cautious about touting Paid Family Leave before popping off about being a advocate for women in the big RNC forum.
"People say", "the fruit doesn't fall far from the tree..."

Ivanka Trump champions working moms — except the ones who design her clothes

<snip>

In the United States, employers aren’t required to keep paying workers who pause duties after giving birth. Still, G-III’s lack of benefits separates it from firms of comparable size. About 58 percent of American companies with 1,000 or more employees fund maternity leave at full or partial compensation, according to a 2014 Labor Department study. G-III has more than 7,600 employees, according to company documents.

Companies that provide the benefit say it helps attract and retain talent. After Google expanded its paid maternity leave in 2007, for example, the rate at which new mothers quit fell by roughly 50 percent.

Sandra Sucher, a Harvard Business School professor with a focus on ethics, noted that today’s retail world is increasingly transparent. Anyone with an Internet connection can investigate corporate policies (“Maternity leave is unpaid,” one Glassdoor.com user wrote on G-III’s page last month). And business practices perceived as immoral or unfair can impact the bottom line. Nike sales, for instance, dropped in the ’90s after an activist revealed Indonesian workers who made the products earned less than a dollar per hour.

Last month, British newspaper The Independent revealed most of the Ivanka Trump brand’s clothing was manufactured in Vietnam and China. Donald Trump, whose apparel also is largely made overseas, has made decrying outsourced jobs central to his campaign.

I. Trump isn't very through in her research is she?

Well when you liberals figure out how to get me a six figure salary with no work and not fuck over the country, let me know.
