Show your Support for Employer paid sick days
Too many people cannot afford to stay home when they sick. It’s time for paid sick leave for every worker in Canada.
In advance of the federal, provincial and territorial labour ministers’ meeting, provincial and territorial federations of labour are united in demanding that provincial and territorial governments guarantee seamless access to universal, permanent and adequate employer-paid sick days for all workers.
More than half of all Canadian workers have no access to paid sick leave. When they’re sick, they face an impossible choice between making ends meet and staying home to protect public health and get better. It’s a decision nobody should have to make.
Click here to show you support for universal, permanent and adequate employer-paid sick leave for all workers now.
