Legislative Hearing on the Paid Sick Days Bill

Location :Gardner Auditorium

Almost 1 million Massachusetts workers lack a single guaranteed paid sick day!

More than two-thirds of Massachusetts workers can’t take sick time to care for a sick child or elderly parent!

80 percent of our service industry workers lack paid sick days, putting public health at risk, raising health care costs, and depriving these workers and their families of basic human dignity!

We need your help to change this!

Join us at the State House in support of paid sick days at a legislative hearing for An Act Establishing Paid Sick Days (H1398, S930), sponsored by Rep. Kay Khan and Sen. Pat Jehlen.

We will have updated research from the Institute for Women's Policy Research on paid sick days for Massachusetts presented at a press conference at 10am.
