Greenfield To Look At Ordinance to Block Sick Day Mandate

Good. 

Ald. Linda Lubotsky said today she would propose an ordinance aimed at blocking measures, like one that will soon take effect in Milwaukee, that require private businesses to give employees paid sick days.

“I just don’t feel government should be controlling small businesses,” she said.

Lubotsky said she would introduce the ordinance, patterned after one in West Allis, on Jan. 19.

West Allis and South Milwaukee adopted ordinances in December that prohibit each city from requiring private businesses to provide certain wages or benefits to employees. The Franklin Common Council decided this week to study a similar proposal.
