Tell Congress: Workers Deserve Paid Sick Days

Nearly half of our nation's workers have no paid sick days to care for themselves or their loved ones when they are ill.

It's unthinkable that 145 countries provide paid sick days and the United States -- the wealthiest nation in the world -- is not one of them. In fact, half of our nation's workers don't have a single paid sick day.

Join me in telling Congress to support the Healthy Families Act now»

Currently, there are no state or federal laws that require workplaces to provide paid sick days. But the Healthy Families Act would provide a guarantee of seven paid sick days a year to full-time employees -- to help them get well or to care for a sick loved one.

Nine in 10 voters polled by Lake Research Partners support a basic workplace standard of paid sick days to care for themselves or sick family members.

Working women shouldn't be forced to risk their jobs to take care of their health or their families.
Tell Congress that we need updated laws that support our nation's workers»
