The next "right" fight to take to Madison?

Court of Appeals reinstates Milwaukee sick pay law.

According to Georgia Pabst's article in the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel, the city's paid sick day ordinance would require large businesses to provide employees with up to nine sick days a year, while small businesses would have to provide up to five sick days.

9 days? How 'bout 8, or 7, or 6. Two weeks paid sick days? Well that's not unreasonable with today's economy. I mean, it's a right - you know. Gotta have two weeks paid sick days. No sacrificing here.
The court agreed with the voters, and if we have to take this fight to the state Capitol and beyond, we will.
