Senate GOP Blocks Emergency Paid Sick Leave Bill From Moving Forward
Gee, I wonder if we know what the GOP opposition was based upon?
Oh, I get it. If the Dems insert a clause stating 'does not apply if you're just fucking off', it will sail through.

The legislation put forth by Democrats would guarantee 14 days of paid leave for workers affected by the coronavirus outbreak.
Democrats hoping to pass an emergency paid sick leave bill to deal with the fallout from the coronavirus were stymied by Senate Republicans on Wednesday.
Sen. Patty Murray (D-Wash.) tried to speed the measure up for a vote on the Senate floor through a procedural maneuver, but an objection from Sen. Lamar Alexander (R-Tenn.) prevented the bill from bypassing the Republican-controlled health committee.
Murray noted that many people who don’t have paid leave through their jobs will inevitably miss work due to being sick or quarantined in the coming weeks. She argued that guaranteed paid leave was important both for public health and the good of the broader economy.
“For many of our workers ― restaurant workers, truck drivers, service industry workers ― they may not have an option to take a day off without losing their pay or losing their job,” Murray said. “That’s not a choice we should be asking anyone to make in the United States in the 21st century.”
Patty, Patty, Patty, don'tcha know lass that yer dealin' with sociopaths?
