Paid Sick Leave Sidelined

THERE WAS NO DECISION LAST(TUES) NIGHT FROM THE BERNALILLO COUNTY COMMISSION REGARDING THE PAID SICK LEAVE PROPOSAL. INSTEAD, THE ALBUQUERQUE JOURNAL REPORTS THE COMMISSION WANTS TO GIVE THE PUBLIC TIME TO STUDY A NEW IDEA. THE NEW PROPOSAL WOULD REQUIRE BUSINESSES WITH TWO OR MORE WORKERS TO PROVIDE PAID TIME OFF INSTEAD OF SICK LEAVE. THE JOURNAL ALSO REPORTS THE NEW PROPOSAL LIMITS WHO CAN TAKE A BUSINESS TO COURT. UNDER THE LATEST PROPOSAL, ONLY THE WORKER AFFECTED CAN TAKE THE BUSINESS TO COURT. UNDER THE ORIGINAL PAID SICK LEAVE ORDINANCE, ANYONE COULD TAKE A BUSINESS TO COURT.
