10 paid sick days.

Decent and safe work.

These are our demands for all the time, not just during a pandemic. @fordnation we can’t wish this virus away. People are still getting sick everyday.

Workers need 10 permanent sick days, instead…/1

@fairwagesnow #PaidSickDays
The measly 3 paid sick days introduced during the pandemic will expire July 31.

3 days are not good enough and soon they will be gone.

Time to step up @fordnation

More than 43,500 Cdns have died from this virus and more than 4M Cdns (underestimate) have had the virus. /2
And now we are in middle of a 7th wave

Too many workers still without paid sick days must go to work sick.

How does this make any sense? Right it doesn’t.

Let's breakdown today's announcement of the provincial Worker Income Protection Benefit (WIPB).

Workers were promised the best #PaidSickDays plan in North America -- THIS IS NOT IT.

🧵

#OnPoli #COVID19ON #PaidSickDaysSaveLives
WIPB provides 3 #PaidSickDays. It's way too little, way too late.

Workers need at least 10 permanent paid sick days + 14 days during pandemics.

It falls short of recent Bills 239 & 247, which govt could have passed with simple yes vote on Mar 1 & Apr 26 respectively.

#OnPoli
This is a temporary measure, set to expire Sept 25. This is not the permanent protection workers need.

16 states in the US have permanent, legislated & employer-paid #PaidSickDays. It can be done. It must be done.
