If the proposed changes to Paid Parental Leave go through the Parliament it will result in tens of thousands of families losing out and forcing parents back into the workforce sooner without the availability of adequate childcare options. This will only cause greater stress and could actually result in a reduction in workforce participation as women, predominantly the primary care-giver, are unable to find childcare. Ultimately it will make it more difficult for families to make ends meet.
This is a hard won workplace right, sign the petition telling the Senate to save paid parental leave at: http://www.australianunions.org.au/ppl
