It may be best to explain to your relatives that the federal US government was mostly intended to provide for a common defense and a few other common things, and the states were supposed to be the real movers and shakers. It appears that things may be similar in the EU, where the individual decisions are left up to the member nations: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parental_leave#Europe ...(certainly someone can correct me if I'm wrong). If a state wants to mandate maternity leave it can: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maternity_leave_in_the_United_... ...In recent times, the states have seemingly ceded a lot of their power to the federal government. Maybe someday there will be an Article V convention and some of that will be reversed. |
