Others should join them as the fight for federal paid sick time rights continues. Three years into a pandemic, nearly 1 in 4 private sector workers in the U.S. still don’t have a single paid sick day. Millions more do not have paid sick time to care for sick children. Paid sick time is also an investment in one of our most powerful tools to build up children’s fragile immune systems: vaccination. We must act now to ensure that everyone has the paid sick time they need for themselves and their families.
