Business Owners Rally against Sick Pay benefit

In 1970 the standard sick pay benefit for companies, at least as I recall it, was 1 day sick leave for every month of employment. Today, 35 years later, we see argument over a sick pay benefit of 9 days per year for full time employment. This benefit is seen as hurting the global competitivness. Like local Madison owners are competing with China slave shops for the sub or coffee shop business. HUH?

How do you come down on this issue? Does this sick benefit threaten the existence of small business in Madison? Is the sick leave an essential part of a workers benefits? I leave it up to you. Click on the post for the full story in the Wisconsin State Journal.

You make the call.
