On the Issues with Mike Gousha: Milwaukee's Sick Leave Ordinance

Description

Supporters say it will improve the lives of families and workers. Critics say it will seriously damage Milwaukee's ability to attract and retain businesses. On the day the city's new sick leave ordinance was scheduled to take effect, we discuss the pros and cons of the new law. Listen to our guests Ellen Bravo, former Executive Director of 9to5 National Association of Working Women, and Metropolitan Milwaukee Association of Commerce President Tim Sheehy. The MMAC is challenging the ordinance, which requires employers in Milwaukee to provide their employees with up to nine paid sick days each calendar year.
