No paid leave for maker of Ivanka Trump’s products, in spite of RNC speech
What Ivanka Trump said at the Republican convention and what she practices are two different things.
Click here for reuse options!A fashion designer for the G-III Apparel Group told the Washington Post in a piece published Monday that she received 12 weeks of unpaid leave when she became pregnant in 2015.
“It’s hard enough emotionally to come back to work right after having a baby,” the unnamed designer, who said she is a registered Republican and worked for G-III for four years, told the newspaper. “But to know you’re returning to a company that doesn’t value your choice to be a mother makes it harder.”
Five other past and current employees of G-III confirmed to the Post that the company offers 12 weeks of unpaid leave after one year of employment—the legal minimum for companies with over 50 workers.
G-III did not respond to the Post’s requests for comment. A spokesperson for the Ivanka Trump brand, her 12-employee company, told the newspaper that new mothers at that business receive eight weeks of paid leave.
G-III received the rights to design and distribute Ivanka Trump’s clothing line, including her dresses, suits and jeans, in 2012. She remains highly involved in the day-to-day production of the attire produced under her name.

I thought there may have been hope for Ivanka, after hearing her convention speech,but I guess I was wrong.Apparently chronic lying is a trump family trait.

and they will not part with their money if they can get around doing so. even when it’s actually beneficial to their company.

At least Kathie Lee Gifford tried to make things right.
Labor activist Charles Kernaghan spoke to the media and accused Gifford of being responsible for the sweatshop management activity. Gifford addressed Kernaghan’s allegations on the air during Live, explaining that she was not involved with hands-on project management in factories
Gifford later contacted Federal authorities to investigate the issue and worked with U.S. Federal legislative and executive branch agencies to support and enact laws to protect children against sweatshop conditions. She appeared with President Bill Clinton at the White House in support of the government’s initiatives to counter international sweatshop abuses.

Say one thing and turn right around and do the opposite of what they say, typical!

the thing is, she’s been doing this, so she lied when she made her b.s. speech. now, that’s the typical tRump crap. i can’t stand these parasites at all. and another thing, i don’t feel sorry for this woman, she stuck with a party that don’t have any respect for women, she gets what she deserves. now she wants to cry about it.
