 Cook County Paid Sick Leave Proposed Ordinance - 10.4.16

On June 29, a proposed ordinance was introduced to the Cook County Board of Commissioners that calls for establishing “Employer Paid Sick Leave for Residents of Cook County”.  This ordinance, if passed, would directly impact every single business within Cook County, regardless of size.

The Paid Sick Leave proposal was not called for action at the September 14 county board meeting but still remains in the Finance Committee. Below is the latest version of the proposed ordinance that will be called at the next county board meeting scheduled for tomorrow Wednesday, October 5 AT 10AM with the intention to force through a vote.

As a business owner, we invite you to check out below for documents on the latest proposed ordinance.

Also, if you are unable to make the meeting tomorrow, please see below for a list of committee contacts that you should call or email to voice your thoughts and concerns. Let your feelings be known.

Commissioner Bridget Gainer is the Chief Sponsor of this item.

No Cook County Beverage Tax Coalition Press Conference and Rally - 10.4.16
​The No Cook County Beverage Tax Coalition will be joined by beverage industry employees, concerned Cook County families, small businesses, labor unions, chambers of commerce and community organizations.

Cook County officials want to tax hundreds of items like soft drinks, juice drinks, sports drinks, energy drinks, lemonade, and teas. This would hit grocery budgets hard and could add up to 68 cents to every 2-liter, and $1.44 to every 12-pack, an increase of up to 68% in the total price. Another tax on these beverages will put jobs at risk and unfairly penalize consumers. We need to make sure our opposition to this proposed tax is heard at the rally. 

Also, if you are unable to make the press conference / rally  tomorrow, please see below for a list of committee contacts that you should call or email to voice your thoughts and concerns. Let your feelings be known.

​
Tomorrow, October 5
Press Conference & Rally at 9:30 AM 
Cook County Building, 5th Floor (118 N. Clark Street, Chicago, IL 60602)
Please arrive by 9:00 AM. Event scheduled to end at 10:30 AM
