I was interested to hear unions in Australia are pushing for women workers at Toyota with menstrual pain be granted access to an extra 12 paid days off a year. God knows I'd love to stay home on that first day of my period when the only thing on my mind is when I took the last Nurofen, and I'm sure many women feel the same.

So what sort of precedent does this set? I'm not sure if this has been negotiated in other countries, but if successful could create quite the ripple effect.
