Should employers be required to offer their employees paid sick leave. Although the federal government has yet to act, some states (not Texas) and some cities (not Houston) have adopted paid sick leave requirements. Is this a good idea? Would you be more likely or less likely to vote for a candidate that favored paid sick leave? Why or why not?
