Show Notes
Parents in Edinburgh protest short paternity leave policies with a unique delivery of fresh produce to the city council. The stunt highlights the need for better support as new day-one rights for unpaid parental leave begin. Research shows most councils offer only one week of full pay, with take-up dropping when pay isnt full. MPs urge improvements, and the union boss agrees shared leave boosts equality and family well-being. Leaders across councils employing two million people could step up with proven perks like higher morale and productivity.
