How much it will cost contractors? What leftist loon wrote this? It won't cost contractors anything. They'll pad the bids for gov't contracts and we'll end up paying for another of Obama's brainless executive orders.

I just saw this on CNN concerning sick pay, I believe. Ashleigh Banshee was going on all about it. I wonder if I grew up in the same well to do surroundings as she did, I’d be able to afford to gush about this latest (dubious) move on Obama’s part.

People traditionally spend Labor Day doing something they enjoy and President Obama appears to be sticking to tradition.

While many will spend Labor Day barbecuing, the president will be celebrating by doing one of his favorite things– making a kingly decree.

The president will sign an executive order Monday ordering paid sick leave for employees of federal contractors.

Under the order, employees will receive one hour of leave for every 30 hours worked, up to seven days for a calendar year.

How much the order will end up costing federal contractors was not addressed by the White House.

The law will take effect in 2017, after Obama has left office.

Most government contractor don’t get, and probably not even under this new edict, specific sick leave like federal employees. Whereas federal employees get 4 hours per pay period for sick leave on top of there annual regular leave, contractors generally get just paid time off to use as needed, accrued up to a certain level. They also get most, but not necessarily all, federal holidays. Federal employees get the 4 hours to accumulate unlimited and which upon retirement can lengthen the time for which retirement pay is calculated.

Yes, there is a pile of Obama “legislative” feces a mile high to be cleaned up to help restore some of the damage this “person” has done to America and its REAL citizens.

Tsar Obama the Terrible will continue to manufacture executive orders for the rest of his term.

Thus, he doesn't have to lobby Congress, influence its committees, engage in any debate or conferences, schmooze the media...in short, with a stroke of the pen he frees himself up time-wise so he can spend the next year and a half playing golf and taking presidential trips in his government plane to see the sights and sounds of the four corners of the world.

King Obama rules while trashing the constitution and the Republicans don't do squat about it.

She who would be QUEEN wants to rule like Obama, but she has major problems of her own making. Couldn't imagine her being queen:

Could this have anything to do with the (Gold King Mine spill)? Those contractors warned the EPA that what happened would happen.....the Navajo Nation is still not getting the help they need and have requested....What is Michael S. Black (dir. BIA) doing about it?!

If we have a president that will. Jeb won’t. Neither will Kasich or Rubio. That leaves Trump.

My choice is getting clearer.

Apparently, this was too much work to copy/paste

“..Obola has zero valid SS#s and BC...”

Zero was manufactured by the international radical left and the DNC. What records about him, which of course would contradict all his lies, were locked up early on to protect “the thing”. The lesson in this, for those that are complacent and ignorant, is how EASY it was to fool a bunch of fools.

Hint: If you’re going to post an article it’s a good idea to include some information about the subject.
