Let It Rip Weekend: Chattanooga shooting and mandatory paid sick leave
The nation is mourning the loss of several servicemen after a lone gunman opened fire on a military recruitment center in Chattanooga, Tenn. last week. Police say the gunman wasn't on their radar. How can law enforcement protect America from homegrown terrorists?
On the panel:
Dawud Walid, Executive Director for CAIR-MI
Dr. Richard Chasdi, Walsh College counter-terrorism specialist
The U.S. is one of the few developed countries in the world that doesn't provide mandatory paid sick leave. Go to work sick, or risk the possibility of losing your job. But a new ballot initiative may make paid sick leave a reality for all employees. Who will pay for the benefit and how will it affect businesses in our state?
On the panel:
Staci Lowry, who lost her job after exhausting FMLA benefits
Danielle Atkinson, Time to Care and Mothering Justice
Mike Bernacchi, University of Detroit Mercy business professor
