Workers bring kids to work to protest endless summer

Workers in Israel have bought their kids to work to protest the long summer holidays – Haaretz reports.

The ‘Day of Rage’ was organised by members of a Facebook group called ‘Parents Fighting for Concurrent Vacation with the Children’. The idea was a result of disgruntled parents whose annual leave does not align with the amount of time off their children get.

A similar problem blights the UK too.  

Almost a third of parents struggle to find childcare over the summer holidays (29%) and over a quarter are forced to take unpaid leave to look after their children - a survey by OnePoll, on behalf of Cotton Traders, found.
