QUESTION OF THE DAY: Should Missouri employers be required to provide paid leave? – ABC17NEWS
The campaign to get mandatory paid leave and a higher minimum wage in Missouri took a step forward Wednesday.
Organizers turned in signatures to get the issue on the November ballot. The amendment would establish a $15 minimum wage and require employers to provide sick leave that can also be used for caregiving.
The Missouri Secretary of State’s Office now has to review the signatures and make a decision on certifying the petition.
