Support Paid Sick Leave for Everyone!

Urge Congress to support paid sick leave for everyone!

On June 11, the Workforce Protections Subcommittee will hold hearings on H.R. 2460, The Healthy Families Act. This bill would guarantee seven paid sick days per year for workers at businesses with 15 or more employees. Sick days could be used to recover from routine illness, seek services to recover from domestic violence, or care for a sick family member or person whose close relationship is equivalent to that of a family member.

Talking Points

57 million working people do not have a single paid sick day.
Workers must choose between risking their livelihoods and caring for sick family members.
LGBT families may not have the same access to sick leave as legally recognized families.
The Healthy Families Act increases gender equity in the workplace by guaranteeing everyone paid sick leave, rather than relying on gender stereotypes about who cares for children.
LGBT families are included in the definition of family in the act.
