  •  Wasn't she the one (2+ / 0-)

    Wasn't she the one who was complaining about the 5-day work week that Pelosi insisted on, because it meant she couldn't do her daughter's Girl Scout troop meetings any more?

    It's a petty thing to break with the party over, if true.  Most of the rest of the world does work at least 5 days a week, Ms. WS.

    •  Employers should allow time for family life (0+ / 0-)

      In today's economy, the pressures of work often interfere with the basic family life of members of the labor force (and, whatever the color of your collar, you are "labor" as long as you have a boss concerned about productivity). This is a development harmful to society.

      Democrats have led the way in addressing this problem, such as supporting Family Leave. It's a popular part of the Democratic agenda. I wouldn't knock somebody for wanting to balance work and family.
