Can you believe it?

Every day, millions of California’s workers are forced to choose between a paycheck and caring for their own health and/or a sick family member.

In 2006, San Francisco became the first city in the entire country to provide a minimum number of paid sick days for all workers – for their own illness and/or to care for an ill family member. Now, it is time for California to take the next step and bring paid sick days to all workers in the state.

Assemblywoman Fiona Ma (D-San Francisco) has introduced the California Paid Sick Days bill (AB 2716) PDF that could make California the first state in the nation to guarantee a minimum number of paid sick days for all workers to take care of themselves or sick family members.

The California Work and Family Coalition invites you to join the California Paid Sick Days Campaign to help workers and their families take care of their health when they are sick.

JOIN THE CAMPAIGN TODAY!

 

 

 

 

The California Paid Sick Days bill is co-sponsored by the California Labor Federation and California ACORN and is supported by the California Work and Family Coalition and public health advocates.
