Get the Facts: Nebraska's paid sick leave ballot initiative

[RandySF]

If Nebraska voters pass Initiative 436, employees would have the right to legally earn paid sick time off.

Up to seven days per year if you work at a company with 20 or more employees. Or up to 5 days off per year if you work somewhere smaller, like Nodest.

Jodi Lepaopao, with Nebraska Appleseed, is the campaign manager for Initiative 436.

She says there's a misconception about who gets that time and how fast.

"It’s not just handing someone the paid sick days to someone as soon as they come on," Lepaopao said.

1. Even my Right Wing friends are voting for this.

They are also voting to repeal the voucher program. Let’s see, do I want to be able to take a day off for a medical emergency or do I want to not be able to? Do I want my tax dollars to go towards rich kids going to get a better education than my kids are getting? These are not hard questions even if you watch a lot of Faux News!
