Raybould continues harping on “the law allows us to modify ballot initiatives.” The problem is #LB258 isn’t a modification. It’s an overhaul that ignores the obvious intent of the initiative & citizenry. Because the law allows something doesn’t make it ethical or right.
#LB258 Suck it up all you low wage Nebraska Kniggets. You’ll get paid slave wages and like it.
Rationalize all you want Sen. Raybould, #LB258 is a betrayal & your arguments an insult to all Nebraskans.
In 2021, @TonyVargas introduced #LB258, a bill to protect families in the workplace. He has supported bills to establish family leave. Last week, he joined others in launching a ballot initiative for paid sick leave in #Nebraska. Tony will protect families in Congress. #TeamTony
As long as Governor Ricketts has his thumb on scales of power in #Nebraska we will see commonsense policy fail, and our workers, children, families hurt #neleg ❌#LB258 #PaidSickLeave/#PaidSafeLeave, ❌#LB376 funding services for children w/ developmental disabilities, & more🤦🏽
You realize #neleg #LB258 failing EVEN w/ a last minute Sen. @TonyVargas amendment to designate these 5 days off w/out term/penalty for NE workers means this legislature wouldn't have approved Family Medical Leave Act #FMLA if introduced today? Beyond chilling. #PaidLeaveNow
Sorry, we still aren't over #PaidSickLeave & #PaidSafeLeave #LB258 failing in #neleg. Legislators had the chance to vote for working Nebraskans & their families more than once on this bill. They chose businesses 🧐💰 over YOU each time.
Last night's vote to kill #LB258 #PaidSickLeave #PaidSafeLeave for Nebraska workers, opponents wouldn't speak to objections on the floor. Today's a brand new day, b/c now the same opponents want $100 MILLION to businesses+$400 MILLION in tax incentives in #LB1107 in 2020. #neleg
#neleg comes to a vote on #LB258 #PaidSickLeave #PaidSafeLeave. Many state senators opposing bill chose to be PNV. Those unafraid to show disregard for Nebraska workers voted "no." NO one should fear losing their job b/c they are sick or seeking safety from violence. Shameful.
#LB258 would provide basic paid sick & safe leave but failed to advance in #neleg. We appreciate the leadership of @TonyVargas, @MattHansenNE and others. We are disappointed the legislative body did not support these important protections in a pandemic. We must do better.
Completely unsurprising, but endlessly disappointing, the body refuses to even pass UNPAID sick and safe leave for Nebraskans. Take note. #NELeg #AM1348 #LB258. Sen @TonyVargas Thank you for your good faith effort to get some forward momentum on protecting Nebraska workers.
#neleg we hope y'all are reading data like this... #LB258 is common sense, very reasonable legislation to give a fraction of funding for #PaidSickLeave & #PaidSafeLeave that we give to tax cuts for those who need it least.
In case you're not paying attn to #NELeg, discussion of #LB258 by Sen. @TonyVargas' #PaidSickLeave #PaidSafeLeave, there are #Nebraska state senators more concerned w/ giving big business tax cuts than making sure YOU cant take paid time off without losing your job.
Here’s our story from last night about the hazardous working conditions in meatpacking plants, and how we can begin to fix them:

#LB258 ensures Nebraskans have access to common-sense health leave, during a pandemic and for the future. Support Nebraska families and workers by submitting a comment online: https://t.co/LogRX7yQru
Access to basic paid sick leave consistently emerges as a priority for Nebraskans working essential jobs across our state. #LB258 is a wise long-term policy for healthy workplaces, families, and communities.
