Yesterday there was a news story about the case of a working mother who should set a precedent, although it is regrettable that she had to embark on legal proceedings to get it.
Eva told us a few months ago about an almost identical case, but this time it is a warehouse girl, mother of two 3-year-old and 8-month-old children who worked full-time from 8 to 13.30 hours and from 16 to 19 hours.
He asked the company to change his work shift for a schedule that would allow him to reconcile his family and work life, but he was denied.
Therefore, he has filed a lawsuit and the judge has acknowledged your right to choose a work schedule in the morning shift from 6 to 14,30 hours to be able to attend to your children the rest of the day.
The judge has alleged that "there was an indirect discrimination based on sex, especially when the refusal makes it impossible to match the work schedule and daycare centers."
The sentence is exemplary, but I still believe that even if the daycare centers were open 24 hours a day, that would not be the true solution to family and work conciliation.
As we have commented on several occasions, maternal mobbing is a much more frequent reality than we think. Working mothers are not offered truly effective measures to reconcile both facets. Not for nothing, 60% of women believe that work is an obstacle to family life.
The truth is that sentences like these show that companies continue to make deaf ears, but it is a situation to which sooner or later they must adapt because times have changed.
