"Either people don't have any paid sick days or maybe they don't have enough, and so they go to work because people can't afford to lose the income," Bobo says. "That's what the polling shows." podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/kim…
"The Council voted 36-12 in favor of the ordinance that requires Chicago businesses to give their workers 10 days off per year beginning Jan. 1..." chicago.suntimes.com/city-hall/2023…
"Due to gendered caregiving norms, women bear a disproportionate share of family caregiving responsibilities, compounding the impact the lack of paid sick leave has on women and their families." Read the report from @CLASP_DC 👇 clasp.org/publication/mi…
All Virginia workers need paid sick leave!
All Virginia workers need paid sick leave!
#Railworkers deserve better. @ninaturner says on #Unbossed, "it is the right and moral thing to do." "Human beings need time off when they are sick. They aren't just cogs in a machine—It is immoral as hell. They aren't asking for too much." #tytlive
Countries that guarantee paid sick leave: 🇦🇫 🇦🇱 🇩🇿 🇦🇩 🇦🇬 🇦🇷 🇦🇲 🇦🇺 🇦🇹 🇦🇿 🇧🇸 🇧🇭 🇧🇩 🇧🇧 🇧🇪 🇧🇿 🇧🇯 🇧🇹 🇧🇴 🇧🇦 🇧🇼 🇧🇷 🇧🇳 🇧🇬 🇧🇫 🇧🇮 🇨🇲 🇨🇦 🇨🇫 🇹🇩 🇨🇳 🇨🇴 🇰🇲 🇨🇷 🇭🇷 🇨🇺 🇨🇾 🇨🇩 🇩🇰 🇩🇯 🇩🇴 🇪🇬 🇪🇷 🇫🇷 🇩🇪 🇬🇷 🇬🇹 🇮🇸 🇮🇩 🇮🇪 🇮🇹 🇯🇲 🇯🇵 🇯🇴 🇰🇪 🇲🇬 🇲🇽 🇲🇦 🇳🇿 🇳🇬 🇳🇴 🇵🇪 🇵🇹 🇸🇦 🇿🇦 🇸🇪 🇹🇷 🇬🇧 🇿🇲 🇿🇼 Countries that don't: 🇺🇸
A new report from @BrookingsInst lists expanded paid sick leave as a critical government intervention that can reduce the economic burden of long COVID. Read --> buff.ly/3pJEced
"Paid sick leave is uneven across industries, with only 59 percent of workers in service occupations covered. Industries such as food, hospitality, and retail rarely offer paid sick leave, leaving workers vulnerable to lost wages or forced to work sick." buff.ly/3FvAOga
In honor of #LaborDay, let's uplift workers! Read over our report on the working conditions of the folx that keep our airports running on time, and sign our petition in support of them! Here is the link: buff.ly/3KP9Alx #VICPP #GoodAirports #AllFaithsBelieveInJustice
In 2018, @MWAAHQ enacted a policy that requires contractors to provide a living wage for service workers including. Likewise, MWAA also has the power to enact a policy requiring contractors to provide paid sick leave and health care benefits! #GoodAirports
Contracted airport workers are turning the tables on @MWAAHQ at the Dulles Airport Job Fair, asking Airport Authority reps: “Would you take a job with no benefits?” #GoodAirports
"While large percentages of high-wage workers are paid for sick days, that’s true for only about 30% of the lowest-paid workers. Around 33.6 million Americans, mostly within low-income brackets, don’t have any paid sick time off." #paidsickdaysforall buff.ly/3GUB5rP
“High-quality data clearly shows infection decreases when workers have access to sick leave.” buff.ly/3sWad4c
“Getting healthy or paying a bill is not a choice,” said Lisa Harris, a frontline grocery store worker from Richmond. “Customers shouldn't have to worry if the person serving them is healthy. Sick leave should be a no-brainer." buff.ly/3sMonEK
@vapaidsickdays @ssurovell @BarbaraFavola Thank you Senators @ssurovell and @BarbaraFavola for fighting for paid sick days for hard-working Virginians so that we can all stay safe!
Significant paid sick leave bills passed out of Senate C+L yesterday. Final passage of these bills would mean that 120,000 + essential workers across multiple sectors would have access to paid sick days. Drop a 'thank you' to patrons @ssurovell + @BarbaraFavola! Press release 👇
⚡️Senator @BarbaraFavola's bill to expand paid sick day coverage for agency-directed home health care workers reported and rerefered to finance on a 12-3 vote! ⚡️

“Turkey Turkey go away we need health care and sick days!” We’re telling airlines airlines like @AmericanAir @united to stop gobbling up contracted workers’ benefits. We sacrificed our lives to keep air travel running - time airlines ensure we have #paidsickdays & healthcare.
@TerryMcAuliffe "We need #PaidSickLeave. And we need to make sure that those doing the essential hazard services are getting paid. And we need to make sure we are giving our teachers the pay raise that they deserve." @TerryMcAuliffe 4/4
With #Delta cases on the rise in the Commonwealth there are a lot of things up in the air. One thing WE know is that we need #PaidSickDays to keep our communities safe!
Mask mandates are helpful for limiting the spread of #Delta, however Virginia also needs #paidsickdays to keep our communities safe from this variant. Paid Sick Days for ALL!
It's almost time for students to go back to school and the #Delta variant is proving to be dangerous for kids and adults alike. Teachers need #PaidSickDays to keep their classrooms healthy. It just makes sense!
The Delta variant has been clear, #COVIDisntover. We need to continue to invest in working Virginians to make sure they can stay healthy and make ends meet. #PaidSickDaysforALL!
Caregivers need #PaidSickDays. Working families need to be able to access to paid sick days. Virginians need paid sick days. Virginia can't say it's a state that's for working families until we truly support our workers. #PaidSickDaysforALL!
Today's the day, Virginia! July 1st marks HB 2137 going into effect. Today, 30,000 essential home healthcare workers receiving #PaidSickDays! We can't wait for more wins like this one!
