Speak up on paid sick leave
Friday, December 1, 2017 by Elizabeth Pagano
As we have reported, the city is in the middle of considering an ordinance that would mandate paid sick time for employees citywide. The final stakeholder meeting on that proposal was Thursday. But, those who were unable to attend meetings can still weigh in on the city’s website, where the conversation continues prior to the ordinance’s return to City Council. Or, if you have nothing to say on the topic and are just nosy, it’s a good place to see what your fellow citizens think about the issue. Either way, it’s all going down at speakupaustin.org.
