An overwhelming 82% of Maryland voters support a proposal to force all employers to provide paid sick days based upon the number of hours worked, according to a poll done for Working Matters, a coalition of more than 80 groups advocating for paid sick leave.
This poll released to
MarylandReporter.com Tuesday comes in advance of hearings Wednesday on several
pieces of legislation that seek to expand worker’s rights and increase
employers’ obligations including the The Earned Sick and Safe Time Act
and the controversial initiative to raise the state minimum
wage. The bills will be debated in committee on Wednesday.
The Jobs Opportunities Task Force,
which supports the measure, is a Baltimore non-profit organization aimed at
improving skills and opportunities for low-skill, low-wage workers.
