84% Informative

Campaigns in Nebraska , Missouri and Alaska have secured enough signatures to put sick leave measures on their ballots.

If voters approve them, the laws would let workers start accruing one hour of paid sick time for every 30 they work.

The U.S. is an outlier among wealthy countries in not guaranteeing workers sick leave or other paid time off.

So far, there have been no organized public campaigns against the initiatives in Nebraska , Missouri or Alaska .

Businesses still have nearly two months to mobilize, but, given the polling, they may find it to be a losing battle not worth spending money on.

Democrats have been pushing unsuccessfully for a federal paid leave law for years .
