DC Sick Days Bill Hearing Set

"The Paid Sick and Safe Days Act would not only provide all DC workers with paid days off, but would enable survivors of domestic violence, sexual assault, and stalking to use the days to address those issues," reports Karen Minatelli of the DC Employment Justice Center, which is lobbying strongly for the bill. "Parents would be also able to take paid time off to attend their children's school-related activities." The Committee on Workforce Development and Government Operations will hold a hearing on Monday, July 9, at 3P; to testify, contact Minatelli at kminatelli@dcejc.org.
