Two days before the Dallas paid sick leave ordinance goes into effect, two companies filed suit against the City challenging the ordinance. Attorneys with the Texas Public Policy Foundation, which represents these companies in the lawsuit, sent the City a letter last week, demanding that the City of Dallas follow San Antonio’s lead and delay the implementation of its almost identical ordinance until December 1. In a twist, the lawsuit was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas, Sherman Division. The plaintiffs are Collin County employers who are allegedly impacted by the ordinance because they have Dallas employees covered by the ordinance.
