## Millions of New York City workers entitled to more time off as new law takes effect Sunday

Authored by cbsnews.com

Millions of workers in New York City will get additional time off when a new law goes into effect next week.

In the city, most employees are already required to have 40-56 hours of paid time off.

But starting Sunday, employers must provide an additional 32 hours of unpaid protected leave per year.

New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani on Friday touted the new law, which also expands what qualifies for paid time off, that the City Council passed last year.

But since it was the beginning of the year, he said he hadn't accrued enough hours to take time off from work.

Lebron said he hopes the new law will afford him more visits to the doctor.

An Amazon spokesperson said the company complies with all federal and local laws and "will ensure we meet the requirements of this law.". »

Her charges stemmed from a law on the books in Nevada since 1911, stating that a woman who ingests drugs with the intent to terminate a pregnancy past 24 weeks has committed manslaughter.

Rousseau told The Indy last Tuesday she was grateful for the money but had “lost a lot of hope that I’m still struggling to get back.”

Prosecutors argued she took those drugs to induce a miscarriage, thus violating the state’s law. »

Some call this new rhetoric the " language of humiliation ," where officials refer to entire social and racial groups as "vermin," "garbage," or "invaders.".

In a healthy democracy, all sides generally recognize the legitimacy of the system itself, regardless of internal squabbles.
