Won't be hard to get out of at all. We've been through this before ... every time the idea was floated. By it's own wording, it won't apply to us:

"The provisions of this chapter shall not apply to any employee covered by a bona fide collective bargaining agreement if (i) such provisions are expressly waived in such collective bargaining agreement and (ii) such agreement provides for a comparable benefit for the employees covered by such agreement, in the form of paid days off; such paid days off shall be in the form of leave, compensation, other employee benefits, or some combination thereof. Comparable benefits shall include, but are not limited to, vacation time, personal time, sick time, and holiday and Sunday time pay at premium rates. "

Here's the link. Scroll down to § 17-1513 Collective bargaining agreements.

True, but I'm pretty sure there will be some agreed upon contract by the time this law takes effect.

If I understand this bill correctly...it only goes into effect if at the time the economy shows signs of improving. If they go by the obama fed...it will be improving whether it is or isnt.. ..lmfao
