.AOC slams U.S. policy on paid family leave, says dogs get more time with their puppies than mothers with newborn babies
Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez criticized employers in the United States who do not offer paid family leave, asserting that dogs are allowed to spend more time with newborn puppies than mothers are with their babies.
"The market has decided. Eighty percent of families don't have access to paid family leave," Ocasio-Cortez said. According to most estimates, just 20 percent of American workers have access to paid family leave through their employer. "Six weeks. Do we know how long puppies are allowed to stay with their mothers after a dog has given birth?" Ocasio-Cortez asked. The congresswoman answered her own question, informing those in the hearing that it is professionally recommended that dogs be allowed to stay with their puppies for eight weeks before they're re-homed.
