Court of appeals temporarily blocks Austin's paid sick leave ordinance

[TexasTowelie]

A state appeals court on Friday temporarily blocked Austin’s ordinance that would require private employers to provide paid sick leave.

A coalition of businesses has challenged the law, which was passed in February. The coalition sought a temporary injunction, and a state district judge denied that request in June. Friday’s ruling is a result of the group’s appeal.

The Texas 3rd Court of Appeals made no assessment of the merits of the law in its Friday ruling.

“The ordinance is enjoined from taking effect while the appeal is pending,” the ruling says.

1. RE-THUGS HURT PUBLIC AGAIN

Those re-thug devils never want anyone but themselves to benefit from something GOOD. I am so glad my state allows employers to provide employee benefits which give employee a better work environment. I retired with over a years sick leave and this gave me another year on my retirement or $400 per month. The future begins at the west coast and the effect goes EAST.....The middle of the country may not see anything for decades........
