Maryland lawmakers are consider a bill that would allow workers to earn paid sick leave.
Political reporter Pat Warren reports it’s a bill that caught the attention of the president.
A few days before his State of the Union address, President Barack Obama chatted up the lunch crowd in a Baltimore restaurant about paid sick leave.
“Employees are more productive; there’s lower turnover,” he said.
Maryland Senator Catherine Pugh’s paid sick leave bill earned her a seat at the State of the Union.

Up to seven paid sick days equals up to seven less vacation days
Wrong -- that means 7 more vacation days!
Except for OweBama, there is no free lunch for employers or employees. Does not matter how compelling the wrapper, the product is bologna!
6:04 that is impossible since most crap employers only give you 5 vacation days AFTER 1 years employment.
Archaic and pathetic mentality.
Is it just me? Or, doesn't MD's GA have far, far more pressing issues to be working on?
ginn, I believe they can work on more than one issue at a time.
WTH.
Joe will be adding more businesses to the "Closed" list if this passes. Many will just move to other more business friendly states.

Touche`
Gonna be a lot more "sick call-ins".
Awesome. State employees being rewarded for poor performance! Not a new concept.
OH BACK OFF !!!!! I am glad to see this because of all the idiots who come to work because they NEED the money to feed their children and cannot afford to miss even ONE day without pay. For those of you that don't get the joke here....there isn't one! People need sick leave time for themselved and to prevent others from catching what they have. Jeezzz
