The Missouri Supreme Court on Tuesday upheld a voter-approved law that increases the minimum wage and requires employers to provide paid leave. ...
Missouri Business for a Healthy Economy, a business group that supported Proposition A, praised the decision. The group's release quotes Joseph Chevalier, owner of Columbia's Yellow Dog Bookshop.
“If a small bookstore like ours can provide paid sick time to employees, so can other businesses," Chevalier said, according to the release. "No one should have to work sick in order to keep a roof overhead and food on the table. That’s just wrong. And it’s counterproductive for businesses.”
