The article has several people quoted that didn’t know the islands are french. I was attempting to play on that but my attempt clearly didn’t land well.

I think I was wrong originally. My current understanding is that they did deliberately disadvantage pregnant woman: https://lemmy.world/comment/17597987

Oh so I didn’t understand it correctly. Thank you for pointing it out. The difference between pregnant woman and everyone else is when the 90% pay kicks in.

So in general, people get 100% pay the first day of sick leave and 90% every day following.

They made a special carve-out for pregnant women so they get 90% on the first day.

Yeah that’s shitty to go out of your way to hurt pregnant woman.

If I understand correctly (I didn’t), everyone got the cut to 90% except woman on maternity leave and pathological pregnancy. They are upset that if a pregnant woman otherwise takes sick time, they will see the 90% pay like everyone else.

The headline made it sound like women were getting 90% pay for the entire pregnancy.

Way to go.

hey me too! All the best!
