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.
Now, the will of Nebraska voters – who overwhelmingly passed paid sick leave for ALL workers last November – is being ignored by the Nebraska Legislature through a new amendment to LB415 (Sen. Beau Ballard), ❌ AM770 (formerly AM545).
This amendment 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 at all; and
- Removes important enforcement mechanisms for workers who are deprived of the paid sick leave they’re entitled to.
Contact your senator. Tell them to OPPOSE AM770 to LB415. Because ALL Nebraskans need time to care for themselves or a family member.
Thank you for standing up for working Nebraskans!
