MMAC Sues Over Sick Pay Ordinance

Good luck.

The Metropolitan Milwaukee Association of Commerce’s board of directors voted unanimously today to proceed with a lawsuit to challenge the paid sick days ordinance that was overwhelmingly approved by voters in the city of Milwaukee on Nov. 4.

At the same time, 9to5, National Association of Working Women said it is confident that the ordinance will withstand a legal challenge.

  1. Um, isn’t this the tactic of using the courts after the voters have spoken? I seem to recall people like you complaining about that.

    Is something different about this occasion?

  2. Hey “Tosa voter”- since when do voters get the right to mandate business law?  If your philosophy prevailed we would all work 52 days a year- those days being the day to pick up a pay check.

  3. Hmm.  I wonder how long it will take for these same groups will get a referendum on the ballot requiring all employees be given a raise to $100 an hour?

    After all, people have the entitled to a living wage, don’t they?

  4. Ron,

    Apparently the laws in the city of Milwaukee provide this “right”. Kind of like how various laws in the states provide people the right to set marriage policy, for instance, via referendum. I didn’t say I was for it.

    Now try again, and this time actually answer the question I asked.

  5. Thought so.

    What have we learned boys and girls?

    Hypocrisy is a base element of partisanship.
