leave to libtards to try to make the private sector as productive as the gubermint sector.

they need to both get lost in Iraq like Johnny Lesch did a few years back.

That’ll put some more small businesses out of business.....

Perfect.

Why not just do away with private businesses and give everyone busy-work jobs with the state and federal governments?

I sure hope there is a provision in there requiring a doctor's statement for a sick day; you can't just toss out a juicy plum like a paid sick day and not expect the obamaites not to turn it into another entitlement.

I used to wonder why so many people were moving down south from those northern states, but I'm understanding it more every day...there are a lot of nuts running the place up there.

'New bill will provide Minn. workers paid sick days'

The answer is ... 'Deer Season'.

Question.......
When will all Employees be 'Sick'?

[Myrddin]

I suppose employers will have to reduce wages actually paid and divert a fixed percentage to the accrual of sick days. That's the way most private businesses do it. Of course, that doesn't work for "minimum wage" as you can't reduce below that level. It may mean a lot fewer people getting raises to compensate for the additional cost.

My company switched from accrued "sick" days to "comprehensive leave". Earned vacation days and sick days are lumped into "comprehensive leave". Stay well, and you get some extra days off. No need to "call in sick" when you really want to go hunting.

While I like for sick people to stay home and not get me sick, I am completely against the govt (Federal or otherwise) making laws pertaining to the agreement between employer and employee.

The law of unintended consequences is too complicated for liberals. You know, math is hard.

[TheDon]

There is a push at the State Capitol to make sure Minnesota workers get paid if they take a sick day from work.

MN taxpayers are sure generous! It's hard to believe they are willing to pay for private sector workers sick days!

Seems unfair to traditional families. Why should single-income families have to foot the bill for this?
