Sick Days

Enquirer: When Ohio voters go to the polls next fall to elect a president, they may also end up giving themselves a bonus – a guarantee of at least seven paid sick days a year from their employers.

Ohio labor unions kick-started petition-initiative movement for the Ohio Healthy Families Act, a bill that would require businesses with Ohio employees with 25 or more employees to grant their employees seven sick days a year – sick days that could be used not only when they get ill, but when their children, parents or spouses are sick.

Gordon posted more details on this topic. But, come on, let's read between the lines on this one.
It's pretty obvious this is tactic by unions and the Democrats to get as many people to the polls in Ohio (a crucial state to win for a candidate) during next year's Presidential election. Specifically, voters with lower paying jobs and blue collar workers, who are more likely to vote for a Democrat.
