Once again proving that libs have never held a job a day in their lives. Now you've made him go to Wiki to find out what "Workman's Comp" means.

And wait until he notices he pay's a tax for it. lol

Obama Thinks You Should Have The Right To Take A Sick Day

President Barack Obama will announce an executive order on Monday that will require all federal contractors to grant at least seven days of paid sick leave. He will also urge Congress to pass the Healthy Families Act, sponsored by Rep. Rosa DeLauro (D-CT). The bill was introduced in the House of Representatives in March 2013, but hasn’t moved since being referred to the Subcommittee on Workplace Protections in April 2013. It would require all companies with more than 15 employees to allow at least seven days of paid sick leave.

Besides providing time for employees to recover from illness, those sick days could also be used to access preventative care, take care of a sick family member, seek assistance related to a domestic violence incident, or to go to school meetings when their child has health problems or special needs. The announcement will be made at a rally in Boston.

As many as 40 percent of private sector workers and 70 percent of low-income workers don’t have any paid sick days. Sick leave is an important labor issue for women in particular, since female family members are often the ones who spend more time taking care of children, parents, and other family members. Women who took on many of these caretaking responsibilities were also less likely to be employed, while men’s employment status remained the same, according to the National Institute on Aging.

Working women, especially Latino women, low-wage workers, and employees with less formal education are the least likely to have access to paid sick leave and family leave, according to 2014 research published in the medical journal The Gerontologist. Hispanic workers have less access to paid sick leave than other any other racial group, at 43 percent, compared with 62 percent of Asian workers, 61 percent of African American workers, and 59 percent of white workers, They also rarely have access to unpaid leave, according to The Center for American Progress.

Although there isn’t a federal law requiring paid sick leave, there has been progress on the state and local level. New York City, Jersey City, New Jersey, and Portland, Oregon passed laws allowing for paid sick leave in 2013. More recently, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania passed a law requiring businesses with 15 or more employees to provide five paid sick days. Seattle, San Francisco, and Connecticut also provide paid sick leave, and there is evidence that job growth has actuallyimproved after the laws took effect.

Because no company anywhere gives its employess sick days.
Yet another measure to make America less competitive, to saddle business with onerous regulations, to make people poorer and government more powerful.
And the left wing rubes eat that shit up.

38% of american workers get no paid sick leave.

The rest of the civilized world guarantees healthcare to all, paid sick leave, maternity leave.. I believe that they should get these things. Something called decency.

Then this doesn't matter to you and you get the day off.

I rather doubt you have given it any serious thought before you ran across this thread.

 

[HappyJoy]

Meddling with labor market dynamics. Our employer/employee system is different from other countries. Place another costly burden on biz will yield higher prices which are particularly burdensome to those least able to afford them (not that one such as you seems to care).

Oh my god, is this the same argument against the minimum wage?

Indeed. Our labor market naturally balances. Walmart pays its average, full-time hourly wage earners $13/hr (part-timers average $10) not because they want to but because it's what free-market labor costs. All go up a buck in February. The market works best without federal gov't meddling. The min wage issue is a union one as many of their work contracts are based on a min wage plus system.

Our labor market naturally balances? To what? Many of Walmart's employees are on some sort of public assistance.

I'm still trying to understand what your point is. Someone else posted that 38% of workers do not have paid sick leave. You come bumbling in saying it doesn't matter because you got yours. It's not really about you.

Depends on if they let you carry sick days over into the next year some do some don't.

Where the fuck do you work? I want to make sure I don't eat at the Subway that forces it's employees to call in sick in person for an evaluation.

Without Walmart they would have no job at all and millions would have to pay higher prices for that which they get cheaply at Walmart.
Considering who shops there, I'd say you are just anti-poor people.
