Amicus brief by the Workers Defense Project, Austin workers, businesses, and advocacy organizations arguing that Austin’s Earned Sick Time Ordinance should not be temporarily enjoined because the plaintiffs challenging the ordinance have failed to demonstrate (1) that the ordinance is unduly burdensome to businesses in relation to the underlying government interest of protecting the health and safety of Austin residents, (2) that there was no rational reason to allow employers operating under a collective bargaining agreement to modify the cap of required paid sick leave, and (3) that the records-keeping requirement under the ordinance would subject businesses to unreasonable searches and seizures.
