The short-lived provision, which will officially be repealed on August 28, required Missouri employers to provide workers with an hour of paid sick time for every 30 hours of work. Businesses with 15 or more employees were required to provide up to 56 hours of earned paid sick time per year, and businesses with fewer than 15 employees were required to provide at least 40 hours of paid sick time.

Throughout the process of pushing H.B. 567 through the Legislature, Missouri Republicans openly voiced contempt for voters who supported the paid sick leave and minimum wage initiative. One GOP lawmaker, state Rep. Mitch Boggs, said, “Of course the people voted for it.”
“It’d be like asking your teenager if he wanted a checkbook,” said Boggs.
Missouri regularly goes red because they have so much faith in you, and this is the sneering condescension you repay them with. At least say fucking thank you, you worthless pig.
Oh my God, are you even aware you’re the little kid in this scenario? You’re throwing a hissy fit because the people who made you rich asked for one little thing in return. And checkbook? This ain’t the 1950s anymore, maybe that’s why you’re confused not every worker thinks a penny an hour is good enough.
