Change maternity leave to 6 months #: § 57 (1 & 3-5) of the Labour Act 2003 (Act 651)

The Issue

Our current labour laws provides just 3 months for our working mothers and wives to spend time with our newborn children before returning to work. This is simply not good enough for the productive year's of the newborn and the overall productivity of the nation. It's also a barrier to motherhood and work.  Let's take the progressive step to change this legislation.
