On the conservative talk radio Tuesday, GOP Chair Steve House amplified Republican lawmakers’ objections to the parental-leave legislation, which advanced in the state House yesterday.
Steve House said the bill, which allows parents to attend a limited number of school functions, is unneeded because employers already treat their employees nicely.
House: The point you just brought up, one of the biggest problems we have as a Party is, we let the Democrats get away with the wrong premise — the premise in that case being that the average employer is not going to take care of their employees, or be flexible — like you just described– so therefore the government has to do it. That’s crazy. I’ve worked for a number of employers in my life. I’ve watched employers deal with the fact that an employee needed time to go to a school, or you know, to a meeting in the middle of the day. It doesn’t require government intervention unless your premise is all employers are too mean-spirited to do it, and that’s ridiculous!
KLZ 560-AM’s Steve Curtis didn’t ask Steve House, “What’s the big deal, if employers are so nice anyway. Why not have the law in place for the ones that are mean and greedy?’
We know there’s a few of them out there.
