Extension to maternity pay delayed?
A report in the Guardian today suggest that Labour will postpone a proposed extension of paid maternity leave from 9 to 12 months because of the cost. The additional 13 weeks would have meant up to an extra £1600 for each eligible claimant. This development, if true, is extremely disappointing. No doubt the CWU and other trade unions will be responding in due course. If you have any comments let me know.
