Get sick, lose your job?

Next time you eat out — consider how many sick days the people preparing your meal are allowed to take. A measure being introduced in the Colorado legislature would guarantee up to nine paid sick days a year for workers at companies with more than five employees. HB 1210 sponsor State Sen. Morgan Carroll of Aurora says many employers in Colorado don't provide workers with paid sick days, and those workers shouldn't have to choose between health and a paycheck, reports Public News Service.
