The spread of COVID-19 has highlighted the economic consequences faced by working people when they lack access to paid sick days.
All people must be able to recover from illness without sacrificing a paycheck — or their job. Staying home when you’re sick or caring for a sick kid can’t just be a luxury for those who can afford it. We need a national paid sick days standard to help strengthen ALL workers’ economic security and improve public health, including during public health emergencies like the coronavirus pandemic.
In the United States, over 32 million workers lack access to paid sick days — and for low-income and hourly workers, it’s even worse.
We can’t have true reproductive freedom without the ability to care for ourselves and ensure our families are healthy and happy — we need to make paid sick days a reality for every body.
