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.

We need national paid sick leave. Add your name!
