Rep. Tom Kean Jr. spent 4 months away from Congress on full taxpayer pay. As a NJ state senator he voted against paid sick leave for workers. He got the time off he denied to everyone else. NJ07 deserves better. #NJ07 #PaidSickLeave

A grassroots movement perspective on the deterioration in #Missouri politics - how talking to (or trying to talk to) state legislators has changed with increased gerrymandering and donor influence. Particularly on the tentacles of the Missouri #ChamberOfCommerce, so evident in the unpopular legislation that repealed the requirement for #PaidSickLeave passed by ballot initiative.
An interview with Missouri's Jobs with Justice Richard Glahn:

Frances Langum reports a bold move by Missouri's Republican Governor, Mike Kehoe, who has repealed a paid sick leave provision backed by 60% of voters in 2024. This law aimed to secure necessary time off for nearly 728,000 workers and also restricts minimum wage increases. The repeal takes effect August 28. What does this mean for workers?

In May 2023, #Walz signed a #law creating astate-run program to provide paid #family & #medical leave for #Minnesota #workers, funded by a 0.7% payroll #tax on #employers, by 2026.
While proponents say the #law is an "equalizer" that provides a road map for a similar federal effort, critics claim it would cost much more than estimated & devastate small businesses.

Status update: now at death's door..
Ugh, this is what I get for missing the flu jab at work this year
Lesson 1: always take the #PaidSickLeave
Lesson 2: get a flu vaccine.

@Ruth_Mottram - TFW you're unwell, but not like at death's door and very conscious of the multiple tasks piling up at work.
I know objectively I should take the sick day but....
I'm encouraged that the Biden administration is sending #covid19 rapid tests to schools this winter, but it's also frustrating how much more we can and should do to contain the #pandemic and protect everyone's health.
Rapid tests aren't very good at detecting the new #covid variants, and while a positive rapid test is still accurate, they give a lot of false negatives, so kids are likely to still come to school with covid and spread it to classmates, teachers, and other staff. Plus, unless we #BringBackMasks, install proper air filtration and ventilation in schools, and give everyone in the US #PaidSickLeave, testing alone doesn't do much. We should be doing all we can to prevent covid infections and give people to tools they need to isolate when they're sick rather than just catching infections after the fact.
In some ways, this is just the latest reminder that we could get covid under control. We just choose not to.
Anyway, I recommend folks #MaskUp because we know this is going to be an awful winter.
It’s almost 2024, which means it is time to start gearing up to get in compliance with all the new employment laws that are dropping in California.
One of the big changes that caught my eye is the new Paid Sick Leave, or PSL, rules. Starting January 1, 2024, the minimum amount of PSL for all California employees (who work 30 or more days with the same employer over the course of a year) is nearly doubling.

For the event that year, the #Koch network rented out the (entire) Renaissance Esmeralda Resort & Spa. On the main stage, #donors heard from Hall of Fame NFL cornerback Deion Sanders, who was working w/the Kochs on anti-poverty programs in Dallas. Another speaker delivered a report card on the group’s #political wins large & small: “repealed voter-approved #donor #disclosure initiative”; “retraction of #mining & #environmental overreach”; “stopped Albuquerque #PaidSickLeave mandate.”
Access to paid sick leave is 10 percentage points lower among full-time workers in U.S. rural vs. urban areas (68% v. 77%) -- increasing the likelihood people will work contagious or forgo health care. These inequities will likely persist if change if left to individual employers or localities. #RuralAmerica #PaidSickLeave #PaidLeave #NICHDImpact

#Conservative #tyranny causes #theunitedstates to resemble a #thirdworld country.
#firstworld countries have #universalhealthcare, #livingwages, and #paidsickleave, for instance.
We really need to get people past trigger words, so we can frigging do what we need to do to get The States up to par with the rest of the world.

Here's why requiring businesses to provide paid sick leave is in the public interest — and making the requirement universal keeps the playing field level wrt that expense.

Sanders to Join Rail Workers in Fresh Demand for Paid Sick Leave https://www.commondreams.org/news/sanders-rail-workers-sick-leave
Will @aoc and the rest of the (D) "socialist" crew who exerted themselves to prevent the railworkers from striking last time, confront Sanders on this? You musn't upset the (D) House & Senate while they're busily playing the stock market, by fostering this nasty labor uppityness, you know.

The #Michigan Court of Appeals has ruled the state Legislature acted legally when it watered down laws that raised the state’s #minimumwage and promised workers #paidsickleave. The court case stems from a 2018 voter-led referendum that the then-#Republican-led Legislature opted to adopt the law. But then it changed the language to effectively gut the #legislation — a process called “adopt and amend.”
I'm a little behind in sharing, but my colleagues and I wrote about the decision to impose a #contract on US #railroad #workers after it failed to pass muster with their #union rank-and-file. The contract had been rejected because it lacked #PaidSickLeave . My coauthors and I explain why paid sick leave and the right to #strike are important to protect workers, and why protecting workers is the key to making our #SupplyChain more resilient. https://cepr.net/the-little-engine-that-couldnt-have-paid-sick-leave/
It shocks me that we think that any workers should not be entitled to #PaidSickLeave.
At the same time, the CEOs of the railway companies make millions in salary and perks year after year after year. It's disgraceful.
"At a moment when the railroad workers had maximum power in relation to the supply chain and the need for their essential work, the White House and the Democratic and the Republican Party leadership put their fingers on the scale and tipped it in favor of corporate America at the expense of the workers and human decency."

Paid sick leave improves public health outcomes and supports U.S. workers at a relatively low (or potentially even negative) cost to employers

President Joe Biden can revise an executive order from 2015 and sign it - to extend #paidsickleave to all railway workers. https://www.commondreams.org/news/2022/12/01/biden-urged-sign-executive-order-guaranteeing-rail-workers-paid-sick-leave
Yet he is for some reason waiting for blessing from the Republicans (who have never ever cared for the workers).
Hope folks urge President Biden not to waste time and extend paid sick leave to all railway workers before we get to the holidays. #solidarity #Fediverse
UPDATE: Along w. Sen. Sanders - Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand who has been a big champion of paid sick leave over the years is stepping up advocacy on behalf of railway workers.
The House - thanks to pressure from members like @repbowman & fellow progressives just passed a stand alone bill on this. Folks should be pressuring Sens. to do the same and push along Sens. Sanders and Gillibrand #railway #paidsickleave #fediverse #solidarity
