Hey! Tomorrow, there's a nationwide rally to drum up support for the Healthy Families Act in Congress that would guarantee paid sick leave for workers to recover from an illness or take care of a sick family member.
You can be there even if you don't feel like marching in the streets or fighting winter weather because it's online.
The National Partnership for Women & Families is holding the first-ever online rally for paid sick days, and it starts tomorrow. Click here to take a look at the rally site where you can learn how you can take action, share your story and more.
According to the National Partnership, nearly half of private-sector workers have no paid sick days and low-income workers fare even worse—76 percent have no paid sick leave. Overall, 57 million private-sector workers in this country have no paid sick days, and 94 million cannot use their paid sick day to care for a sick child.
