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. mb YEO F r o n t l i n e N e w s • Q1 2016 • PG 14 www.YEONetwork.org @yeonetwork ers hip Councilmember Josh Fryday Novato, CA w w w .YEON e t w o r k . o r g Membership Borough Councilwoman Kate Abel Pittsburgh, PA Policy Policy Networking We would like to welcome all of the new young elected officials that have joined the YEO Network since the last issue of the YEO Front Line News.
