A coalition of labor and progressive groups collected collected 144,000 signatures to get a paid sick leave ordinance on the 2018 citywide ballot.
An appeals court has dealt another legal blow to San Antonio's long-delayed ordinance guaranteeing paid sick time for workers.
In a victory for business groups, the Texas 4th Court of Appeals on Wednesday blocked the city from implementing the rule while it's contested in court. The three-judge panel agreed with a lower court's judgment that the rule is preempted by Texas' existing minimum wage law.
