Paid Sick Leave Comes to the Floor

   

At noon today, Public Advocate Gotbaum stood with Councilmember Gale Brewer, Borough President Scott Stringer, Gloria Steinem, and hundreds of advocates to voice support for a bill that will require paid sick days for workers to care for themselves or a loved one. With H1N1 flu cases on the rise, action is needed to ensure that workers can stay home sick without losing pay--limiting the spread of flu in the workplace.

It's the latest in a series of demonstrations made by Gotbaum and supporters of the bill.
