Maryland paid sick leave bill clears House committee

Workers at companies with 15 or more employees in Maryland moved a step closer to earning paid sick leave on Thursday when a bill was approved by a state legislative committee.

The House Economic Matters Committee voted 14-9 to advance the measure, which provides a minimum of one hour of paid leave for every 30 hours worked, up to a maximum of seven full days per year for full-time workers.

“I’m happy to get this bill moving,” Del. Luke H. Clippinger (D-Baltimore City), the bill’s sponsor, said. “Hopefully we’ll get a bill out of the Senate and moving our way.”

These idiots just have no common sense. Trump is about to reverse the job killing Obamacare and these idiots are going to kill jobs again with this nonsense.

Mandatory sick days will just mean reduced vacation days!! That’s an easy offset.
