Employers should be allowed to run their own businesses, they know what their expenses are and will treat their employees as well as they can if they want to keep them. employees cannot tell their boss how to run their own business. If a person wants paid sick leave, get a job that offers it.

Employers will just reduce other types of leave if additional sick leave is mandated. The Missouri Legislature is once again correcting a corrupt amendment that appealed to low-information voters.

Even when the already rigged elections don't go the way they want, they always have a back door to circumvent the will of the people.

I believe all bills should be single action bills, with no add on items to get them passed.

Government should not be able to override what the people have voted for.

Going against the majority proves they're serving their own interests, and not the people of missouri. In this case, they've denied citizens the right to take care of themselves and families in times of illness and limiting the risk of losing their jobs. MO Red is anti-voter.

We deserve paid sick leave, we work hard to accrue this time. They are not giving anything to us, we have to work to accrue it.

I’ll never forget when my newborn was in the ER for coughing up blood. I asked my manager for help and she said “Well, I guess your husband will have to take care of her.” But he had to work too, and had a competitive job where half positions got fired recently and feared not completing his project.

I would not show up to work. There is no chance I would leave the side of my wife or children for anything.
