Government has no place telling companies how much vacation time they have to allow people.
Maternity leave is a different story altogether...as it's certainly no vacation! In the US, companies are required by law to allow a woman to take up to 12 weeks of leave (the leave can be unpaid, however) with the guarantee that she will not lose her job. While I am ALL for more vacation, I don't see a reason for it to be government mandated. People who think they are "overworked" because they sit in an office for 40 hours a week, should follow around a stay-at-home mom or dad with 3 young children some time....THAT my friends is what it means to be "overworked".
