Working families are the engine that drives our economy. Paid sick leave helps hardworking Nebraskans and businesses and means people won’t have to choose between the paycheck they need and their family’s health.
But the will of Nebraska voters – who overwhelmingly passed paid sick leave for ALL workers last November – is being ignored by the Nebraska Legislature through ❌ LB415 (Sen. Beau Ballard), which removes paid sick leave protections from 140,000 hardworking Nebraskans.
LB415 would:
- Exempt several groups of workers from receiving paid sick leave, including seasonal and temporary agricultural workers, and workers under the age of 16;
- Exempt businesses with 10 or fewer employees from having to provide paid sick leave; and
- Remove important protections for workers who face retaliation from their employers for using paid sick leave.
This bill is on Select File and will be up for debate again TOMORROW.
Contact your senator now and tell them to OPPOSE LB415:
It’s time for the Legislature to respect the will of Nebraska voters and stand up for hardworking Nebraskans. NO Nebraskan should have to face the impossible choice of taking care of their health or missing a paycheck.
