OUTSOURCING
Tens of thousands of decent jobs in Connecticut have been outsourced to other states or other countries. Working Families supports legislation to end tax breaks for companies who send jobs out of state and a policy to allow the state give preference to contractors who will keep the work in Connecticut.
Dan Malloy supports both policies to stop the outsourcing of good jobs.
Tom Foley opposes both policies.
PAID SICK DAYS
For hundreds of thousands of working parents in Connecticut, losing pay can be as easy as catching the flu and a child's doctor's appointment could cost you your job. In this difficult economy, no one should be forced to choose between their family's health and their job. Working Families supports legislation to allow workers to earn paid sick time.
Dan Malloy has vocally supported a paid sick days policy and testified for it at the legislature.
Tom Foley opposes a basic paid sick days policy.
What it boils down to is this: Dan Malloy shares the values of ordinary working class and middle class families. Tom Foley comes from a different world, the world of Greenwich CEOs and yacht owners. He'll never really understand the struggle ordinary working families are facing.
