Also, per the article, as of Jan 1, "all of its company employees "can become eligible to receive" at least 24 hours of paid sick time per calendar year." It just keeps getting better; a whole 3 days off, madness.

On a related note, I would think regulators would mandate that food workers have mandatory paid sick time. My Fiancé used to work for a food prep company, I will not say which one, and, her and her co-workers would go to work and handle food on their death beds. They had mouths to feed and bills to pay like the rest of us so; they could not afford to stay home. The industry pretty much forces people to handle and potentially contaminate food that others consume; they could kill someone. This has just never made sense to me.
