Why does the amount matter?
Paid time off (including sick days) are a part of compensation negotiated between employer and employee. I don't like the idea of government mandating compensation for employees.
(That said, there is nothing technically wrong with them wanting to do this, as it's being done at the state level. If it were done at the federal level, I would scream bloody-fucking-murder. As it is, though, I will simply not live or do business in MA because I do not agree with this, among others, law.)
I would like to know what profession you are in that currently has so few applicants that employers are forced to negotiate with the employees regarding things like that.
Indeed, in many companies they absolutely do NOT negotiate in any way. There are strict guidelines that are followed as far as compensation goes, and it is non-negotiable.
Every job I've every interviewed for has had a non-negotiable benefits package as well.
Perhaps not everyone is in the same situation, or working for the same people that you do, eh?
