Alternattiva Demokratika agrees with a government proposal allowing parents to take sick leave when their children are unwell.
Family-friendly measures in various forms were essential to ensure a work-life balance and better and longer commitment of workers to their work, it said.
Robert Callus, AD’s spokes-man on social policy, said the statement by the Chamber of Commerce, Enterprise and Industry criticising the proposal “points to the lack of sensitivity towards the plight of workers in such situations”.
