Abortion is heading back to the ballot, after Missouri Republican lawmakers fell back on a little-used rule to shut down a Democratic filibuster and push through a ballot amendment to ban abortion again. They used the same maneuver to repeal a paid sick leave law — just months after Missouri voters approved both.

Missouri voters legalized abortion and instituted a paid sick leave policy through the voter-led initiative petition process last November. Just a few months later, state lawmakers are working to overturn both.

More states are passing or considering laws that require employers to offer paid medical leave. Advocates say these laws can reduce financial stress and make workers more productive. But some measures also stress employers, and the patchwork nature of different state laws can create frustration. Paid family and medical leave allows workers time off to undergo treatment or care for a family member or a new child. Separately, more states and cities are also requiring paid sick time, which helps people deal with shorter-term illnesses like the flu. Many employers also offer paid sick time without a government mandate. Laws requiring longer-term paid family and medical leave are less common. Thirteen states and D.C. require some version of it, according to the National Partnership. There is no federal law requiring paid leave. The Family and Medical Leave Act guarantees only unpaid time off. It also doesn't apply to a large chunk of the workforce, including employees of small businesses that are exempt. Advocates say providing paid sick time can reduce the spread of disease. It also can improve production by cutting down on “presenteeism,” or people showing up for work sick and unable to focus on their jobs, said Jessica Mason, a senior policy analyst with the National Partnership. Paid leave for longer-term illnesses can help people focus on care and recovery. What are the drawbacks? Skye Nevada, catering company owner, said that when someone calls in sick, she would have to pay that person and their replacement, who would likely get overtime. “To expect small businesses to just absorb this cost is crazy,” Nevada said. Small businesses often don't have a separate human resources department to track compliance with mandated leave policies, noted Beth Milito of the National Federation for Independent Business. “The paperwork is time, and time is money to a small business owner,” she said. Mason says interest in paid leave has been building since the COVID-19 pandemic. “The pandemic really brought to the forefront of everyone's mind how important paid sick leave is,” she said.

Absenteeism and sick leave are fast becoming critical concerns for businesses in Saint Lucia, impacting productivity and operational costs.

The Michigan MAGA Republicans majority in the state House passed bills that roll-back minimum wage increases, a phasing-out of the tipped wage law, and paid sick leave.  The state Supreme Court ruled last year that Michigan Republicans back in 2018 acted unconstitutionally when they blocked minimum wage and paid sick leave increases from reaching the ballot, and then weakening the laws during Lame Duck. The Court said the original intent of these laws must go into effect in February of 2025. But once again, right-wing MAGA Michigan Republicans are working to weaken those laws! However, they're getting support from some Michigan Democrats in hurting workers to appease the restaurant lobby. Pat explains how the irrational fear Democrats have for corporate lobbyists will only continue to hurt them at the polls.  Please, subscribe to the podcast, download each episode, and give it a good review if you can! leftoflansing@gmail.com Left of Lansing is now on YouTube as well! leftoflansing.com NOTES: "Minimum wage and sick leave bills clear Michigan House with bipartisan support after heated debate."
