GOP Congressman That Voted Against Paid Sick Leave, Takes Paid Sick Leave From Congress

[Lewdog]

Do you know what FMLA is? It is called the Family Medical Leave Act, and government agencies and companies with 50 or more employees that work at least 20 weeks per year are FORCED to comply. The only difference between the it and the one proposed, is that companies would have to pay it and not just allow the people to keep their job while gone. It should be no big deal to do so given the federal government is basically offering to pay the companies back for doing so during a crisis like this one.


Business Criteria
Public schools and local, state, and federal government agencies must follow FMLA laws. In the private sector, businesses that employ 50 or more employees for at least 20 workweeks within the current calendar year or the preceding year are required to adhere to FMLA laws.



Employee Eligibility
Just as all businesses are not required to follow FMLA laws, not all employees are eligible to take FMLA leave. To be eligible to take the leave, employees must work for the same employer for 12 months or longer. During the 12-month period, employees must work at least 1,250 hours for the same employer.

Do All Businesses Have to Follow the FMLA Laws?

Yes, I do know what it is, dunce. I’ve been a federal employee for a long time. FMLA still uses up normal sick leave, you’re just allowed to use it to take care of a family member.

What’s that have to do with the OP?

Just because you are a federal employee doesn't mean you aren't ignorant. Many of your posts prove that. It means everything to do with the OP. Your argument was about how it is wrong for the government to try and tell businesses what to do with sick leave... well they already do with FMLA. It isn't JUST about taking care of a family member. It is also for people with a chronic illness, for taking time off for adoption, and other cases. I thought you said you knew what it was... obviously you don't.

No dumbfuck, I never stated the government can’t tell businesses what to do. I stated that the congressman in question was against a particular piece of legislation that would prevent local governments like cities from trying to force companies into their idea of mandatory sick leave.

There already are federal laws that mandate such things, like the FMLA. So thanks for proving my point.

Carry on, dipshit.

Yes, yes you did:

"he voted against allowing cities and counties being able to force companies to have paid sick leave (like what happened in San Fran).

Private companies and local/state governments are free to enact whatever paid sick leave policy they want."

FMLA does not mandate that companies who don't offer "PAID" leave that they have to. You don't want the government to be able to tell companies what to do. You aren't fooling anyone. Just like when you lied a minute ago saying you know what FMLA is. You may know it exists, but your post showed you don't know WHAT it is.

Jesus you are an idiot. The law doesn’t prevent companies from giving their employees paid leave. So companies ARE FREE to enact their own sick leave/paid leave policies.

You sure are a space case... no one is talking about PREVENTING paid leave. I sure hope you don't work PR for anyone in the government or any kind of communications. You can't spin worth a shit.

What “spin”? The OP lied about what the Congressman was voting on. He merely voted against cities being able to dictate paid sick leave laws to companies. It doesn’t mean he, or any other Republican is against other regulations that do tell companies how to mandate such things.

He did not vote to "prohibit" companies from offering paid sick leave. He voted against forcing them to do so. I know you folks don't care about such things, but what if a company can't afford to pay for extended paid sick leave? And given the fact that the vast majority of corona virus cases have been mild, why is this even an issue? If your liberal buddies in the media and government would stop grossly exaggerating the threat and effects of the virus, we would not be in this crazy situation and would be functioning normally as a nation, just as we did during the swine flu outbreak in 2009-2010.

Come on lefties, this is a stretch even for y'all junior socialists. The virus is a freaking national disaster and members of Congress don't have to be present in Washington D.C. no matter what party they belong to especially if they are freaking quarantined. It has nothing to do with forcing Taco Bell to offer paid sick leave to burger flippers.

Its not about buger flippers, its about keeping a health crisis from becoming an economic crisis.
