An Act relative to railroad workers earned sick time
This bill requires private railroad companies and their contractors, as well as the state's rail and transit division, to provide earned sick leave to their employees. It mandates that these employers adhere to the same minimum standards for sick time already established in Massachusetts law for other workers. By extending these existing protections to the railroad industry, the legislation ensures that railroad workers have access to paid sick leave under the same rules as other private sector employees.
