Democratic Party wants to repeal unpaid wages law

Wyoming Democrats plan to try to repeal a new state law that would allow employers to avoid paying employees for their accrued vacation time upon termination if the employees had agreed earlier to give it up. The state Democratic party's Central Committee intends to push a ballot referendum to repeal the new law that goes into effect July 1. The committee claims the law, which passed the Legislature earlier this year, is detrimental to employees. The Democrats are probably too late to collect enough signatures to get the issue on the 2014 ballot. They would have to get more than 37,000 signatures of registered voters by May 18 from two-thirds of the state's 23 counties.
