Mayor Bill de Blasio announced a plan guaranteeing paid time off for workers in the city.
The plan would require private employers with five or more employees to offer 10 annual days of personal paid time, which can be used for any purpose, including vacation and religious observances.
More than 500,000 full-time and part-time employees currently have no paid time off.
If the plan is approved, New York City would be the first city in the nation to mandate paid personal time off for workers.
“Workers across the nation have been working too hard without enough time to rest and recharge or enough time for family and important life events. Every other major nation recognizes the necessity of Paid Personal Time. We as a country must get there, and New York City will lead the way," de Blasio said.
"To be the fairest big city in America, New Yorkers can't be forced to choose between bringing home a paycheck and taking time off to just disconnect or spend time with loved ones – that choice ends with Paid Personal Time. I look forward to working with Council Speaker Corey Johnson and the rest of City Council on this important piece of legislation.”
The United States is the only industrialized nation that does not mandate paid time off, including paid holidays.

The man who could become the city’s 109th mayor was born Warren Wilhelm Jr. on May 8, 1961, in Manhattan, his birth certificate shows.
In 1983, fresh out of New York University, he petitioned a Manhattan judge to formally change his name to Warren de Blasio-Wilhelm, according to legal records.
And in December 2001 he petitioned a judge in Brooklyn to formally change his name again, this time to Bill de Blasio.
Outside of the state would be smarter.
None of those benefits?
I have been in 5 different unions in my lifetime-—all of them over 40 years go. I NEVER saw a UNION that didn’t have those benefits.
Outside of the state would be smarter.

I believe Delaware is a very popular place for corporations to call home, even though they don’t have any physical assets there.

Given current headlines related to California and New York City, consider one seemingly unrelated observation: a review of Hillary’s voting map highlights the real fact that her votes were concentrated in California and the Manhattan populations.
Here is a link that shows the differences between the BROADWAY lyrics and the FILM lyrics.
I never knew there was a difference.................

“Workers across the nation have been working too hard without enough time to rest...” That definitely doesn’t include politicians.
