Working in Brampton in the third wave of the pandemic is something I'll never forget. Everyone I saw was someone who was precariously employed, working in an essential job. - @AmitAryaMD
We're seeing the downstream impacts of public health policy failures in our emergency rooms.
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.

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.

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.

#PaidSickLeaveSavesLives and it's needed urgently while we deal with #COVID19, but we need paid #sickdays permanently to protect our health and lives every year. One sick person in an office or classroom quickly passes on illness, putting us all at risk. 1/4 #forjudeforeveryone
Do you know what you're legally entitled to in your region? If your employer has a more generous plan than what's mandated, you may not think about it, but when people in our community are forced to work sick, we're all affected.2/4 #PaidSickDaysSaveLives

This is what illness in the classroom did to my family. Not during a pandemic, but a normal year when ~3500 🇨🇦s die from flu, ~12,200 are hospitalized, and many suffer. It doesn't just happen. Everyone who gets the flu & #COVID19 gets it from someone else.
