Right now, Coronavirus, or COVID-19, has spurred a global health crisis. Care providers, legislators, and experts agree that an essential component of prevention is missing: national paid sick leave.
But it's not just about Coronavirus; paid sick leave:
* has reduced flu rates where it's provided,
* reduces costs of emergency health care services,
* saves employers money by reducing turnover costs of replacing workers,
* helps protect the paychecks and employment of survivors of domestic violence, and
* helps family caregivers.
Despite the benefits of paid sick leave, American employees without paid sick leave must go to work to provide for their families - despite being ill, and possibly contagious. Today, stand with them and sign the petition and urge Congress to pass legislation to provide national paid sick leave.
