Re: [POLITICS] State Finally Does something good for the people
This adds cost to doing business in our state. Though as it affects companies that employ over 50 it may be a non issue as most probably provide vacation and sick time already.
People often like to compare the U.S. to Canada, Europe, even Mexico. Claiming on alternate occasions that one of them is somehow superior. Yet the migration is from Canada, Europe and Mexico to the U.S.
I recently had a discussion with a former Mexican who was telling me how beautiful, inexpensive his former homeland was compared to America. Sigh ...

Yet the migration is from Canada, Europe and Mexico to the U.S. Europeans stopped coming. 12% of Green Cards are given to Europeans. Think about it when is the last time you met a Danish, Swedish, or White French Immigrant?
In European Union they have 31 Sick Days, a Minimum of 20 Vacation days, and somehow they have small companies staying afloat as well as the large ones. (IKEA.STOPandShop,Nestle,Unilever,etc..)
I don't buy the argument that 5 measly sick days for people will affect the economy. |

What about the fact that it's just plain immoral for the government to tell businesses how to run their business? Then we would still have child labor. Forget about the 40 hour work week. No need for OSHA.
Goverment is supposed to be on the peoples side. It immoral for the goverment to not step in and stop explotation. |
