Mayor Nutter Talks About Paid Sick Leave

The city of Philadelphia is rethinking paid sick leave in a bill that was submitted to Mayor Michael Nutter that suggests businesses with 15 or more employees provide paid sick leave.

Could thousands of Philadelphia workers without paid sick leave start to get paid when they fall ill?

On Monday, Philadelphia Mayor Michael Nutter discussed the findings of the task force he put in place to examine paid sick leave in Philadelphia.

Philadelphia Councilman William Greenlee argues that paid sick leave would improve working conditions for about 200,000 people.

A bill up for approval in 2015 would supply paid sick leave to employees of company's with 15 or more workers.
