Union members fought and died for rights you take for granted. CEO’s and oligarchs waged war against them, police, national guardsmen, Pinkerton agents, and hired union busting scabs beat, crippled, and killed union laborers that were standing up for YOUR RIGHTS.

Unmasked and making everyone sick.

I’ve been hearing about people showing up to work sick, testing positive for covid, and not wearing a mask and working sick, despite the CDC’s recommendation that people “Stay home and away from others”, and even after feeling better they say to mask when resuming normal activities.

CDC - Respiratory Virus Guidance March 1, 2024 Preventing Spread of Respiratory Viruses When You're Sick When you go back to your normal activities, take added precaution over the next 5 days, such as taking additional steps for cleaner air, hygiene, masks, physical distancing, and/or testing when you will be around other people indoors. This is especially important to protect people with factors that increase their risk of severe illness from respiratory viruses. Keep in mind that you may still be able to spread the virus that made you sick, even if you are feeling better. You are likely to be less contagious at this time, depending on factors like how long you were sick or how sick you were.

All year long I keep hearing stories about people who are actively sick and coughing and refusing to mask in confined spaces like subway trains and crowded workplaces. And even people refusing to mask when asked to by trapped elderly people in airplanes and healthcare settings. This is a very dicey situation with the coming American public health dark age and the threat of bird flu and mask bans.

Illinois will become one of three states to require employers to offer paid time off for any reason

"Illinois will become one of three states to require employers to offer paid time off for any reason after Gov. J.B. Pritzker signed a law on Monday that will take effect next year.

Starting Jan. 1, 2024, Illinois employers must offer workers paid time off based on hours worked, with no need to explain the reason for their absence as long as they provide notice in accordance with reasonable employer standards.

Just Maine and Nevada mandate earned paid time time off and allot employees the freedom to decide how to use it, but Illinois’ law is further reaching, unencumbered by limits based on business size. Similarly structured regulations that require employers to offer paid sick leave exist in 14 states and Washington, D.C., but workers can only use that for health-related reasons.

Illinois employees will accrue one hour of paid leave for every 40 hours worked up to 40 hours total, although the employer may offer more. Employees can start using the time once they have worked for 90 days. Seasonal workers will be exempt, as will federal employees or college students who work non-full-time, temporary jobs for their university.

Pritzker signed the bill Monday in downtown Chicago, saying: “Too many people can't afford to miss even a day's pay ... together we continue to build a state that truly serves as a beacon for families, and businesses, and good paying jobs.”

Proponents say paid leave is key to making sure workers, especially low-income workers who are more vulnerable, are able to take time off when needed without fear of reprisal from an employer.

Bill sponsor Rep. Jehan Gordon-Booth, a Peoria Democrat, said the bill is the product of years of negotiations with businesses and labor groups.

“Everyone deserves the ability to take time off,” she said in a statement. “Whether it’s to deal with the illness of a family member, or take a step back for your mental health, enshrining paid leave rights is a step forward for our state."

“This is about bringing dignity to all workers," she said at the signing."

Yukon Premier Ranj Pillai says his government will extend a paid sick leave program that covers many workers who lack benefits, but the Yuko

Yukon Premier Ranj Pillai says his government will extend a paid sick leave program that covers many workers who lack benefits, but the Yukon Federation of Labour says the measure doesn't go far enough. The program offers rebates to employers for up to 40 hours of paid sick leave taken by workers who make the average private sector wage of $33.94 or less per hour. The self-employed are also eligible. The government says the one-year extension will cost $850,000, provided MLAs pass the territorial budget. It's expected to be tabled March 6, when the Legislative Assembly resumes.

Voters approved sick leave mandate by 58% but lawmakers are caving to lobbying by the state’s chamber of commerce

The people of Missouri voted for a $15 livable minimum wage. Missouri state legislators repealed it. The people of Missouri voted to enshrine reproductive rights in their states constitution. Missouri state legislators refused to sign it into law. Missouri voters passed a referendum for paid sick leave. The Missouri legislature repealed it…

So here’s my question to the people of Missouri.

WHAT THE F*CK!?!

You voted for these amendments and PAID these pricks to represent you and abide by your vote.

Quit voting against your own interests!

God damn!
