Well, one problem is: "In 2000, a law was passed mandating that women have the right to cut back hours at their jobs without repercussions from employers."
If the article's correct, that seems like it discriminates against men. If cutting back working hours is an important right, then why can't men do the same without repercussions?
- ben0x539 16y agoBecause typically workplaces are already biased towards men and employers do not need more incentives not to disadvantage male employees, I suspect.
- route66 16y agoMaybe a misunderstanding, but the law in question (WAA) does not mention male or female employees but deals only with the right of changing th eweekly work hours for everyone. It is probably exercised most often after child birth, other than that, I would think that "women have the right" is wrong as a statement.
