Centerbeth, your post puzzles me. Of the item on the Rockettes, you wrote, "newsflash, Salon: many, many US companies don't offer maternity leave."
But what is your point? Didn't the item suggest that what's happening to the Rockettes may be indicative of larger cultural and economic forces? Are you saying that because many other women don't get maternity leave in the first place, it simply doesn't matter that the Rockettes lost their maternity leave? How does that make any sense? Would you have preferred no mention of it? How does that make any sense?
So, I wonder, can you please explain why you don't think it's worth nothing that the Rockettes were forced into signing a restrictive labor contract?
