Voters in Missouri, Nebraska, and Alaska will soon decide on ballot measures that could grant workers paid sick leave, a growing demand for low-income employees.
Proponents argue that paid sick leave prevents the spread of infectious diseases by allowing workers to take time off when sick without fear of losing income.
Opponents believe these measures impose unfair burdens on employers who should ultimately determine employee benefits based on business needs.
The discussion around paid sick leave has been revitalized due to the pandemic, bringing gaps in worker protections to the forefront of public policy.
