Are you against paid time off? I'm confused what this is supposed to mean...

You know what we get for calling out sick for a day?  Demerit points against our attendance records.  Too many of those and even the union can't save you from unemployment.

There can only be exceptions under FMLA.  Even at that, you just lose a day's pay.

Ok, but that didn't answer the question.

Not that it matters in China.  Everyone who was not born to the right families gets paid sixty three cents and a bowl of rice for a twelve hour day.

Let me rephrase: in the overwhelming majority of countries, including many developing countries, there is mandated paid time off. Does this get my point across better?

Like we should care what the neighbors are doing?  What's the unemployment rate in those places?

Some of those countries do have a higher labor participation rate . . .

Are you against mandated paid time off?

What world do you lie in

The original 'Jumanji' movie.

Except instead of getting sucked into a board game he got sucked into a C-Rank casino and Van Pelt is a grumbling manager instead of the antagonist from 'The Most Dangerous Game'.

You have a horrible life.

Expected?

Is there a bill that passed that the governor has to sign? Does it exempt or preempt workers under a CBA?

The bill has passed the Assembly and State Senate, and is now on the governor's desk awaiting his signature.  He has already expressed support for it.

You wanna get paid to sit at home watching Oprah every time you get a sniffle or a sneeze.  I never had it that easy on any job in the last forty six years and you shouldn't be any different.

So you are against mandated paid time off. Unlike you, there are people with children who sometimes desperately need to take time off work out of the blue.

This from the same guy who values human life so little he once said he'd rather walk into the woods and let the coyotes eat him than receive medical assistance he couldn't pay for himself

The two parent household always works better than one.  One goes out and earns the money, the other stays home and cares for the children.  No schedule juggling.

How many people could you support with just your income.

Union contracts weren't mentioned in the news reports.  I'm guessing a lot of cba's would have to be modified.

Assuming this is the bill, then:

Quote

b.    No provision of this act, or any regulations promulgated to implement or enforce this act, shall be construed as:

     (1)   requiring an employer to reduce, or justifying an employer in reducing, rights or benefits provided by the employer pursuant to an employer policy or collective bargaining agreement which are more favorable to employees than those required by this act or which provide rights or benefits to employees not covered by this act;

     (2)   preventing or prohibiting the employer from agreeing, through a collective bargaining agreement or employer policy, to provide rights or benefits which are more favorable to employees than those required by this act or to provide rights or benefits to employees not covered by this act;

     (3)   prohibiting an employer from establishing a policy whereby an employee may donate unused accrued earned sick leave to another employee or other employees; or

     (4)   superseding any law providing collective bargaining rights for employees, or in any way reducing, diminishing, or adversely affecting those collective bargaining rights, or in any way reducing, diminishing, or affecting the obligations of employers under those laws.

     c.     With respect to employees covered by a collective bargaining agreement in effect at the time of the effective date of this act, no provision of this act shall apply until the stated expiration of the collective bargaining agreement.

     d.    This act shall not be construed to preempt, limit, or otherwise affect the applicability of any provision of any State law or regulation regarding earned sick leave for employees of public employers that provides rights or benefits to employees which are more favorable to employees than those required by this act or that provides rights or benefits not covered by this act, but shall supersede any provision of any State law or regulation which is less favorable to the employees than what is required by this act, notwithstanding the provisions of those other laws or regulations.

 

The bill does not preempt a CBA that gives you more favorable benefits. And if you are currently under a CBA, it doesn't apply until your contract expires and needs to be renegotiated.

This right here is ONE of the reasons the flu epidemic was so bad this year...you can blame the shot...if you got it or didn’t... but the fact that people don’t STAY HOME when they are sick is part of the fucking problem..

i don’t like to call into work either but when I am ill, it is MY responsibility to stay the fuck home...as it should be for EVERYONE...regardless of company policy of no excused absences...

take fucking personal responsibility

Welcome to 2018...where women do leave the kitchen and very few households could support a stay home parent. Welcome to 2018 where the economic demands are higher than the 1920’s. Welcome to 2018 where you’re still a fucking janitor living in a glorified shack talking on subjects you have no experience or knowledge of...

sexist fucking asshole

The CBA in this casino doesn't offer any "more favorable" benefits.

People aren't supposed to be spitting out babies on this income.

So when they do it should be a lifetime of unnecessary suffering for all members of the family

Don't raise wages so that someone who works full time can support a child, don't give paid sick time let alone paid vacation time to every worker

Do you even know what the average worker in America makes, do you know what the median household income is, do you know how many fucking people 

You're sick I don't even wanna do this with you again

So, you're saying that Mom and Dad behaving like responsible adults is obsolete?

Do the math again.  That's eight such days each year, multiplied by over 2,000 employees in just this casino alone.  Where's the money supposed to come from?

Even better! 

Thousands of other businesses manage to give their employees even more sick time than that and vacation time on top of it and they manage just fine. If a business can't afford to give its employees PTO that says more about the business than the employees who want to take time off.

outside of Packard's la la land, real companies that people want to work at strive to maintain a good work-life balance. we get 22 days off a year and can roll over up to 10. which basically forces  you to take time off, unless you like losing PTO.

also i used to live in NJ, they did the same there too. except with a couple less days because i was really low level and with a different company

When you give money to a panhandler, it's your decision to make.  Using force, whether by threat or by statute to induce you to hand out the money is robbery.

That means when your contract expires this would have to be factored in for the next one.

Because this would be mandated by law, I don't know whether the casino would demand a concession elsewhere to offset it.

But I assume your union's political staff should already be aware so if you have any questions they'd be the best people to call.

Someone was always home when I was as a kid and if they weren’t I had not only a grandmother but also an older brother. THIS is not irresponsible...this is how families raise their children...

Oh, but in your last post, you said that strong families were the stuff of the 1920's.

At no point did I say “strong families”...

im telling you that unlike the 1920s the economic status of this country cannot AFFORD to have a stay at home parent. BOTH parents have to work in order to provide for themselves and their families. This is the case for lower, middle, and upper middle class America...which make up the 99%...

do NOT put words in my mouth
