It's set to be voted on Nov 4. It may sound good, "seven guaranteed paid sick days", but it's not good for businesses or employees. I don't have to explain why it's not good for business. Why isn't it good for employees?

The employer will scrutinize and closely monitor employees who call off. And there will be retribution by the employer. Employers will reduce working hours for those who call off. Example, you come to work one day and the employer calls you off and sends you home. You don't get paid for that day. It's happening now, I've seen it, especially to low wage earners. The fast food worker or low wage earner who depends on that paycheck to live, would be best advised not to call off unless you really are sick. And if you do call off, you better be an excellent employee. This will happen to middle and high income earners also.

I hope you voters realize the folly here. I know we want to be kind, compassionate, cuddly, touchy-feely with each other. But this isn't the way...

Vote NO!
