Organizers Exceed the Number of Signatures Needed for Paid Sick Time Referendum in SA
SAN ANTONIO -- Labor and community groups this morning delivered 144,000 signatures to San Antonio's city clerk demanding that voters get to decide whether businesses should be required to give paid sick time for workers.
The group Working Texans for Paid Sick Time had promised to deliver at least 66,000 signatures, the amount it said would be required to place such a measure on the November ballot.
Around 100 activists, many clad in t-shirts representing their labor unions, rallied in front of City Hall, crowded around the cardboard boxes containing the signed petitions.
The AFL-CIO's Linda Chavez-Thompson lauded supporters for their work collecting signatures but warned that they'd need to keep working to build support with voters.
