A Milwaukee County Circuit Court judge has granted an injunction to postpone Milwaukee's mandated sick leave ordinance from going into effect on Tuesday.The Metropolitan Milwaukee Association of Commerce went to court on Friday to ask that the ordinance wouldn't go into effect until all the legal proceedings are resolved.Judge Thomas Cooper said he was satisfied that the MMAC had made its case.
The ordinance was approved by voters in November. It requires companies to give workers at least nine paid sick days a year.The MMAC called it invalid, un-enforceable and unconstitutional.The group Nine to Five supports the paid sick time. It said it's not fair for workers to choose between an illness or their paycheck.Cooper said no matter what the court rules in the future about the ordinance, he is certain the decision will be appealed."The most important thing is that we do it right from the start," Cooper said. - WISN
