Biden Admin Yanks Maternity Leave From Trump Appointees Days Before Some Give Birth
The Federalist ^ | February 4, 2021 | Jordan Davidson

President Joe Biden’s administration denied multiple President Trump-era aides their previously established maternity leave, some days before birth, reports Politico.

Even though some Trump aides made arrangements for parental leave early in 2021 in advance of their children’s births, multiple federal employees were told shortly before or after their babies arrived that the benefits would no longer be extended to them after Biden and his team took office.

Some families pleaded with the new administration to honor the previous agreements, one couple writing that they were counting on the leave to deal with “unforeseen complications” during the birth of their child.

“[T]he remaining 9-10 weeks afforded to federal employees is critical to our family and livelihoods as we work to raise a strong, healthy boy under unique and unforeseen complications to our birth plan,” the married Department of Homeland Security officials wrote.

But their calls were disregarded by Biden’s transition team, which said the officials’ previously pledged benefits including payroll ended when former President Donald Trump departed the White House.

That's just petty and mean-spirited. They reveal their true nature to all the world.

Time for some Unity and healing - after I kick your teeth in, of course.

Democrats hate babies anyway. They kill them in the womb. Obama and others wanted to kill them even after being born.
And they all like to abuse them in their pizzagate homo/pedo rings.

Democrats are a death cult.

“But their calls were disregarded by Biden’s transition team, which said the officials’ previously pledged benefits including payroll ended when former President Donald Trump departed the White House.”

So, their payroll and benefits ended at same time their jobs were terminated?

Some of us knew the true “Lunchbucket Joe” all along. To say that he’s a dirt bag would be a nice way to put it.

Democrats are for the “little people and working class”. That lie has been floating around all my life in spite of mountains of evidence to the contrary.

Not exactly.

Usually termination for cause does mean the end of payroll and benefits but when your termination is part of overall lay off (which this would be) your payroll and benefits continue for a specific period of time.

Anywhere from two weeks to six months in my experience.

Every day that goes by, I am more disgusted, and less charitable to my associates who voted Biden. I am a kind person, but just days into Biden’s admin, I have ill fillings for everyone, Biden admin and voters.
