The Wisconsin Court of Appeals on Thursday upheld Milwaukee's paid sick-day ordinance, which was halted by an injunction two years ago.

The business organization called the ordinance a job killer for the city and has challenged the legality of the measure, which was passed with 69% of the vote in the November 2008 election.
