Statewide business groups and organized labor clash over ruling on Dallas paid sick leave ordinance

Labor says it’s “truly shameful” while business groups argue “it is simply not within any individual city’s jurisdiction to mandate employment ordinances”

The Texas AFL-CIO and statewide Austin business groups today are reacting very differently to a Federal District Court Ruling that blocks Dallas’ paid sick leave ordinance, at least for now.

Yesterday, the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Texas in Sherman granted an injunction against the ordinance. The plaintiff employers that prevailed included several small businesses in Collin County that also have employees in the City of Dallas.
