Paid Sick Days Law Upheld in Pittsburgh

The Coalition for Healthy Families and Workplaces is thrilled to announce that the Pennsylvania Supreme Court released a decision July 17, 2019, to uphold Pittsburgh's 2015 paid sick days law. 49,000 workers now have access to paid sick days in Pittsburgh.

From passage of the initial law to final arguments in the Supreme Court, many Coalition members played important roles over the past four years. We want to offer special acknowledgement to Pittsburgh United, Women's Law Project, WGFPA, A Better Balance, and SEIU 32BJ. Thank you for your tireless work to support local democracy and better health outcomes in Pittsburgh.

Pittsburgh now officially joins Philadelphia and 48 other cities and states with paid sick days laws ensuring that workers can take the time they need to care for the pe
ople they love. Besides the 49,000 workers without paid sick days in Pittsburgh, countless more who face discipline for using sick days or who cannot use sick days to care for their loved ones will now be able to use the time that they have earned without restrictions.

We will continue to update the Coalition and others on next steps around implementation as well as what this decision means for cities and counties in Pennsylvania.

필라델피아시에서 병가가 법적인 효력을 갖게되었습니다! (Philadelphia's Earned Sick Days law is now in effect - Korean)

필라델피아시에서 일년에 40시간 이상 일 할 경우 유급 또는 무급 병가를 자신이나 가족을 위해 받을 수 있습니다. 또한 법적으로 직장상사가 병가를 받을 권리를 거부할 수 없습니다.

자세한 내용은 엡사이트를 확인하시길 바랍니다.

병가에 대한 권리 보장은 대단한 발전이며 이를 통해 가족을 위해 직장을 보장받고 또 열심히 일함으로 경제발전에 기여하며 도시를 부흥시키는 계기가 될 것 입니다.

다른  도시에서도 이런 비슷한 법을 통과시켰을 때 많은 일자리가 생겨났습니다. 그래서 필라델피아의 경제 성장에도 기여 할거라 확신하며 우리의 사업에도 많은 유익을 줄 거라 믿습니다.

주변의 친구들에게 이 새로운 권리를 트위터나 페이스북을 통해 많이 알려주길 부탁드립니다.
