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 entities follow the same minimum sick time standards currently required of other private employers under existing state law. By extending these protections specifically to the railroad industry, the legislation ensures that workers in this sector receive the same paid sick leave benefits as those in other private sectors.
