Obama's Labor Day Resolution – Extend Paid Leave for Federal Contractors

Description

Showing solidarity with workers on Labor Day, President Barack Obama will sign an executive order on Monday requiring paid sick leave for employees of federal contractors, including 300,000 who currently receive none. The White House would not specify the cost to federal contractors to implement the executive order, which Obama was to address at a major union rally and breakfast in Boston. The Labor Department said any costs would be offset by savings that contractors would see as a result of lower attrition rates and increased worker loyalty, but produced nothing to back that up.
