Working people need protections for when they get sick and can’t come to work. Right now, workers can lose pay, or their jobs, when they or a loved one falls ill. At the same time, we can't accept the public health risk of workers being forced to come to work sick. A high-quality sick leave policy is critical to build families’ economic security, protect public health, reduce health care costs, and create healthier workplaces.

The Tacoma City Council is holding a public meting on January 13 at 5pm to get public input on this proposal. Will you join us to show strong public support for paid sick leave?
