Hi Bec,

I've got my fingers crossed for the EB agreement too!! I'm a public servant working within the SA Emergency Services and get 4 weeks paid maternity leave (as per the last EB) but negotations for the new EB agreement is for 12 weeks. I'm hoping that when/if the we get the 12 weeks, it's backdated to the end of the last agreement (November 2003) so that I can get the extra 8 weeks. I'm 30 weeks pregnant now and plan to work until 36 weeks.

I worked for SAPOL for about 7 years, I left three years ago, to gain a promotion, but sometimes still wish I was back there. Worked mostly in the western suburbs police stations.

Best of luck with the pregnancy.

Tam
