Help us win PAID SICK DAYS for all in Ontario!
Ontarians need paid sick days now, and with your help we can win.
Unifor has been calling for paid sick days since the start of the pandemic last March. We are actively advocating public Boards of Health and City Councils across the province and adding our political voice to this momentum.
It’s time to pass MPP Peggy Sattler’s Bill 239, the Stay Home If You Are Sick Act. This NDP Bill ensures that no one has to choose between putting food on the table and going to work sick: with seven (7) permanent paid sick days plus fourteen (14) additional days during a crisis like the COVID-19 pandemic.
It’s time to legislate paid sick days NOW.
In this phone zap, we will be calling the offices of PC MPP’s and encouraging them to support Bill 239 so workers don’t have to go to work when they are sick. We will then take a few minutes to phone our elected PC MPP representatives and demand that they legislate Paid Sick Days for all workers!
Bill 239’s next big test is on March 1. It is important we let PC MPPs know before this date that Ontarians want and need this to pass.
