I'd like an Icelandic system; three months off for each of the parents, and three months to divide between them as they like, all on 80% pay. It means that parents are equally likely to take time off around the birth of a child. But then the Icelanders are rather more enlightened than us about such things.
If the BWA can help to have the existing employment/health and safety law enforced it would be a great start for them.
