More than 30 million workers do not have access to paid sick days, forcing them to choose between caring for themselves and their families and their economic security. The Healthy Families Act (HR 3409/S 1664), introduced by Representative Rosa DeLauro (D-CT) and Senator Bernie Sanders (I-VT), would establish a national paid sick days standard. The bill would allow workers at companies with 15 or more employees to earn up to seven paid sick days each year, which may be used to recover from illness, take care of family members, and seek assistance after incidents of domestic violence, stalking, and sexual assault. Working families need the Healthy Families Act!
