From the Family Care Act Coalition (https://www.familycareact.com/):
The Covid-19 pandemic makes the need for PA workers to have access to paid family medical leave clearer than ever before. Employees need to protect themselves, their coworkers, and their families from illness, as well as care for their loved ones experiencing illness.
As a nation, we are in uncharted territory. As a state, we are scrambling to find answers. As citizens of Pennsylvania, we must urge our State Senate leaders to act.
Let’s get prepared to protect our working families from the health crises of the future, both personal and public. Our PA Senate leaders must do the right thing:
- for the small businesses that will continue to struggle to reopen and rebound;
- for the hourly wage staff of restaurants and bars who have been told to stay home; and
- for the parents with young children who must balance caregiving with working from home (if they’re lucky enough to have the option do so).
Join us at https://p2a.co/rddYccz and tell our PA Senate leaders that we cannot wait. They must support SB 580, The Family Care Act, because it is simply the right thing to do – and now is the right time to do it.
