From our friends at the
National Partnership
for Women and
Families
Right now, we’re on the cusp of a landmark
moment for the paid sick days movement.
Recently, the Department of Labor (DOL)
issued a proposed rule to implement President
Obama’s Executive Order (EO) guaranteeing
paid sick time to federal contract workers.
The EO and proposed rule would ultimately
benefit an estimated 828,000 federal contract
employees – including an estimated 437,000
workers who are not currently guaranteed
a single paid sick day to care for their own
health or the health of a loved one when illness
strikes. Before finalizing the rule, DOL is
accepting and reviewing comments submitted
by the public. To ensure a strong final rule is
implemented, DOL needs to hear from
paid sick days supporters like you.
The evidence couldn’t be clearer: paid sick days
keep families financially secure, workplaces and
communities healthy, and businesses and the
economy strong.
