I don't see how there is even an argument against parental leave.
Humanity isn't here to ensure the survival of the corporation. We allow corporations to exist. If we decide that family time and bonding with our children is important, which we should, then the corporations need to adjust.
Fathers and mothers should get time measured in months to bond with their children after birth. It doesn't even need to be paid for by the company, we should just be using the unemployment benefits we've all already paid in to. It'll also help the job market as some positions may require temp workers to fill gaps. I'm honestly perplexed how anyone can be against mandatory parental leave and I'm a single guy without any children or any plan to have children in the near future.
Someday most of us won't work, not in the sense we view work in this current day, so why fight the inevitable? We should embrace it and take steps to get it right that is fair and sustainable.
