What particularly annoys me about this is earlier he was talking about how "Connecticut is open for business." This is not how you show the business community you are open for business.
My guess? He's going to offer businesses tax breaks for complying, which means ultimately it is you and I who are going to be paying for this initiative.
I applaud Mr. Malloy on his honesty. In his very first speech, he is acknowledging that being a Democrat automatically means you are anti-business and a job killer.
What an insult to small businesses, making them pay for truant employees who are probably at home watching TV or drinking beer.
Dan Malloy has no clue about "worker's rights". You know what the ultimate worker's right is? HAVING AN EMPLOYER TO WORK FOR! Any proposal that is put before the legislature must be evaluated for its impact on killing jobs and driving companies out of the state.
Tim Stewart will be the kind of Senator who evaluates every piece of legislation for its negative impact on the community before voting for anything.
I guess Danny Boy the socialist plans to balance his budget on the $600 fines he is threatening businesses with for interfering with employee use of their new sick time, He forgets one thing, when the Democrats get through destroying jobs, there will be no businesses left to pay these fines.
If you read the statements of the governor and his minions about this panacea of a law, no one in the state will ever get sick again because employees will never again work when they are sick, so no germs will ever again be spread.
My experience as an employer has been that many employees drag themselves to work when they are sick and save their paid sick leave for when they just want a paid day off to goof off.
The governor's proposal has the tail wagging the dog with the employee telling the employer when he will or will not come to work and prohibits the employer from ever enforcing any abuses of sick leave by fining the employer $600 for every occurrence when the employer interferes with the employee's use of sick time.
Maybe the state government can tolerate their employees telling management when they will or won't work, but after reading this article in the Courant, it makes me wonder if ole Danny Boy knows who is working for who in the private sector?
Perhaps these employees should simply be happy that they still have a job--especially in such an anti-business climate like Connecticut.
While NY Governor Cuomo is placing blame on the problem right where it belongs, the unions, our new Governor wants to turn the keys to the state house over to union leaders:
Attacking Public Employees: Will New York Lead? Richard D. Wolff, MR Zine: "As in other states, New York's new governor has focused attention on the state's budget woes: revenues insufficient to cover expenditures. His major response has been to blame public employees and their unions as if their pay, benefits, and especially pensions were chief causes of the problem.... Many political leaders across the states and in both major parties have been pushing the same agenda."
I was speechless after reading about the arrogance from ole Danny Boy.
ReplyDeleteHe tells the business leaders I am a Democrat and you (the business leaders) are never going to agree with me?
He then tells them he wants to be proud to be the first state to jam a socialist requirement like this down the throats of every business owner?
There couldn't be a more anti-business law.
Sell your houses and businesses now while you can still get out of this, the most repressive state in the nation!
It sounds to me like we have our own version of Nancy Pelosi here in Connecticut.
ReplyDeleteWhat an arrogant S.O.B.
ReplyDeleteI'm a Democrat, so you will learn to do things my way!
I can't wait to hear what other job killing bills this guy has in mind?

There is little doubt that O'Brien & company's 30-35% surtax on all business income is soon to resurface with this guy, is there?
