So, you don't actually have a problem with it.

 

[USNavyVet]

Bernie's a loon like all socialists.

So, you don't actually have a problem with it.

If you're gonna pay for my vacation? Sure.
Otherwise

 

[theDoctorisIn]

We are esentially the only first-world nation that does not legally provide any paid time off to employees.

He does have a point.

I still don't see your problem with it. Since you didn't bother to 'splain precisely what your problem with it is then I'll just have to chalk it up to another act of desperation.

Maternity leave or sick leave I might support.
But, with the ACA regs, nobody getting more than 28hrs.....And give them paid vacation time too????

No, as usual Bernie has no point. Like a true socialist he goes for the feel good topic that morons will fall for.

 

[Disir]

Actually, it was the OP that went for a feel good topic.

We have already had a lengthy discussion on what his stances are.

Doc's a mod.
If my saying it was cuckoo wasn't enough added commentary, I would've heard about it

 

[The Irish Ram]

Bernie had no problem enlightening us on the Democratic agenda..... 90% taxation.

I'm not questioning whether or not you broke the rules here.

 

[Harry Dresden]

i was going to disagree with you horty....until i read post no.7.....now i see what you are saying....

 

[thereisnospoon]

Sanders is pandering.
In the article, other nation's vacation policy mandates are mentioned. One issue missing is that in many of those countries, business is heavily or at least partially subsidized by taxes.
In order to receive those incentives, business must bow to the will of the government.
Secondly, in many Western European nations, labor unions represent up to 80% of all non exempt workers.

I'd hope you knew me better than supporting Bernie, Harry

So where do you stand on the topic, then?

 

[Katzndogz]

Part of what he wants is already happening with people working part time jobs
Sometimes two or three of them.

 

[SwimExpert]

Most Americans leave their vacation time on the table already. Why mandate something that the people don't want? It makes about as much sense as requiring people to buy health insurance regardless of whether they want or can afford it. Oh wait...

I think it should be mandatory for full time workers. I wish it was mandatory for those holding down 2 or 3 jobs. Those are the people that are working 7 days a week.
