The Missouri Supreme Court on Tuesday upheld a voter-approved law to raise the minimum wage and require paid sick leave, allowing new sick time rules to take effect Thursday. ...
Business owners who supported Proposition A, meanwhile, cheered the court’s Tuesday opinion.
“If a small bookstore like ours can provide paid sick time to employees, so can other businesses. No one should have to work sick in order to keep a roof overhead and food on the table,” Joseph Chevalier, owner of Yellow Dog Bookshop in Columbia, said in a news release.
