On October 13, City Council members passed a bill introduced by Councilman Wilson Goode, Jr., that amends the 21st Century Minimum Wage and Benefits Act to ensure all workers whose employers contract with the city or receive public subsidies can earn paid sick days. This bill ensures that city tax dollars only fund jobs that support public health, families, and the community.
The bill now goes to the Mayor's desk, and he needs to hear from you!
Please take a moment to send a letter to the Mayor telling him your feelings about paid sick days.
