Thanks to all of the organizations and activists around the state who've been supporting the paid sick days bill. Now the media is finally getting the message: paid sick days protects working families and improves public heath. And it's smart business too.
No employee in Connecticut should fear losing a job for staying home when sick.
And employers should recognize that over the long haul their enterprises are likely to be more productive while in the care of healthy employees.
...
Allowing workers a reasonable cushion for those few times a year they are truly ill is not only the humane thing to do, it makes business sense, too.
The Appropriations Committee will be voting on the paid sick days bill on Monday.
If you haven't yet, please take a moment to send the members of Approps an email asking them to vote yes.
