Beat me by 14 seconds on my posting of this.
You know, if you don’t like the company’s vacation policy...you could try not going to work for them in the first place.
What companies don’t? Aside from junk-food outlets that is.
Any fast food job or retail job. This is all about “spreading the wealth.”
Barack, Hillary, Nancy, Harry, et. al. are busy turning America into France as fast as they can. Only the politicians will like the result.
Cry me a frickin' river, Murkowski. 22 years in the military, with 30 days paid leave, IF you can take it (the mission always comes first), and I didn't get paid anyway near to your cushy salary... Or get to be a senator.
Many a year I didn't even get to come back to North America, let alone my home state.
This bill by Alan Grayson (D-Disneyworld). Kind of says it all, huh? Who says dems are always for the little guy and Republicans are always for big business? The Mouse has its own Congressman in Grayson, IMHO.
Either that, or the gubmit will shut down the entire Disney enterprise as a "luxury" just as they killed the general avaiation industry.
I’m looking for the “satire” tag and don’t see it.....
That’s the sad thing in this land that used to be called America.
There appears to be no end to the socialist agenda being pushed by the DhimmiRat LibTards.
This is preposterous. But, then again, a year ago I’d have scoffed at the notion of the Federal government dumping billions and billions of dollars down the auto industry rat hole...
It’s time to take back the country.
Sadly, their unemployment rate is less than the US right now. And they have a healthier attitude towards nuclear power. But being a cheese-eating-surrender monkey, that's not for me. Those French unemployment rates must be wrong, with all those North African Mudslims smoking hash and burning cars. Sarkozy is cooking the books.
unconstitutional.
Why should they?Now is the time. The fools and idiots said via their vote on November 4, 2008 that they would prefer to be governmental property than free men and women.
I agree that there should be a mandated period of PAID TIME OFF or vacation time earned for each 52 weeks of work, even if the work is preformed over several CONSECUTIVE SEASONS.
IT SHOULD WORK LIKE THIS: When you have worked a total of 52 weeks ( even if it is over several consecutive years you should be granted a week of PAID VACATION. After the second 52 weeks of work is preformed you should be granted TWO WEEKS of PAID VACATION. All vacation time or vacation pay must be taken outside of the operating season.
Let the legislatures show the way. Here’s a better idea. Let them have 2 weeks work and 50 weeks of vacation per year. They’ll be happy and their constituents will be happier.
NO! No mandatory paid vacation! Don’t like your job? Either get smarter or better educated.
THIS PROPOSAL SUCKS!
This will only help China and others further kick our asses in the global marketplace.
Please note that my job CAN NOT be preformed on a year-a-round basis for the same company.
Yeah, buut so is income taxes, and a whole friggin boatload of other crap Libs (and some repubs) have thrown at business in the last long time.

If you can negotiate those terms with your employer, that sounds like a great deal. OTOH, if you are working 19 weeks out of the year it sounds like you have 33 weeks off during the year during which you can be working elsewhere or taking your leisure time. You want government to force your employer to pay you for a couple of those weeks as if you were working?
