I’m from Estonia. Each parent gets 1 month off immediately after (though can be scheduled up to 1 month before due date too, but then you don’t have the month off afterwards
This is followed by about a year and a half worth of paid days that can be used by either parent and the parent can also work at the same time so they double dip
I’m hopeful and fearful that in the next four years more people will actually figure out who the real villains are. The cracks are really showing now. I just hope working people realize they are being divided and start to push back and demand basic human rights.
My company laid off 2 people whilst on maternity leave and being a mostly remote company, my coworkers were in different states.
The one in California sued and got a decent amount from the lawsuit. However the one in Texas didn’t see as bright of an ending.
Maternity leave needs to be protected federally, as right now I think only a handful of states have laws protecting employees on maternity leave.
FTFY, why shouldn’t we try to have both parents around while we’re at it.
At least 1 month off for both parents immediately after (maybe some weeks before?) birth. Then 1-1 year for each parent.

Sounds like I’m already in the right country then.
I based mine off a hazy recollection of what I heard of Germany.
The fact that it’s not protected is all down to America’s fear of democratic socialism and workers rights.
And a religious hatred of women
Remember when rituals where conducted by the moon and women were witches who made the world…
