“But that’s Communism!” – says right-wing construction worker who loses his job if he uses one more sick day this year, which will cost him his house and family.
In a lot of other countries, isn’t it 6 weeks PTO? Which means democrats should start with 10 weeks. Assuming they want America to be the greatest country in the world.
When they pass something that isnt a cororate handout directly to private investors I’ll get excited
Yet another wonderful bill that won’t pass because of Republicans.
Funny how all the most popular ideas only happen when there’s no shot at them passing and never when there are majorities that can do something. Almost like it’s deliberate performativity in the ultimate furtherance of capital interests.
I did some research on this years ago. The national average for Americans was 13 paid days off per year (holidays, sick, vacation, etc. all added together). Europeans averaged 32 paid days off per year including everything. We’re getting screwed without lubrication.
If you can’t afford to hire workers on a W-2 with benefits, not just a 1099, you can’t afford to hire workers.
Should’ve been at least 4 weeks.
…especially since Congress seems to get 2 weeks off every month!! WILL YOU PASS THE DAMN UKRAINE AID PACKAGE, PLEASE, YOU NIMRODS??!!
So the part timers will work 24 1/2 hours and avoided ugh
::clutches pearls::
In theory I get 20 sick/pto days a year, I use like 10 cause I’m in Healthcare and my primary department is always short…oddly the secondary department is usually so fully staffed that people are comfortable enough to take 3-4 week vacations , makes me incredibly jealous cause at best I can only plan a staycation or small trip
The quality of life is ideal… This seems ideal
so controversial, two weeks, basically the industry standard already if you have vacation.
God damn it stop making these shitty minimums. Make it 8 weeks with a 4 day work week.
Two weeks guaranteed PTO is so fucking little. And we won’t even get that, I imagine
Which means the GOP will cry about this and vote it down with the quickness.
Jesus!
Europeans have six!
Not nearly enough. Should be six weeks at a minimum. With a right to take a sabbatical after 4 years.
Democrats are fucking cheap as usual… 2 weeks ain’t shit… Needs to be at least 2 months
