Re: Disabled rights to be strengthened? Let's hope so!
It is loosely connected in that the father, be he estranged or not, has a legal and moral duty to look after his child and render whatever assistance is necessary to the mother of that child in support of her parenting.
If such support was available then it may well be that this lady may not have had this issue with her employer in the first place.
Of course the presence or not of a father in this matter is speculation at this stage.
It may be useful to consider that whilst the EEC is busy bestowing all sorts of rights and privileges on individuals and groups,along with the associated costs on others who are not the beneficiaries of such rights and privileges, the tiger economies are forging ahead. They have lower cost bases and if we do not remain competitive, then there will be penalties for an even wider group of us in UK plc to pay.
I am quite sure that there are plenty of parents who manage to look after their children and keep in work. Plenty of them have more than one child also I'll wager.
