Women’s Network Lobby for Working Families in Washington, D.C.

paid sick leave

WM LobbyLast week, the Women’s Network met in Washington, D.C., and lobbied Senators and Representatives on Capitol Hill.

They lobbied for paid sick leave, which would give every worker the ability to stay home and get better when they or a loved one becomes ill, as well as for the Family and Medical Insurance Leave (FAMILY) Act, which would provide up to 12 weeks of paid leave each year to qualifying workers for the birth or adoption of a new child, the serious illness of an immediate family member, or a worker’s own medical condition.

They were joined at their meeting by special guest Senator Tammy Baldwin of Wisconsin who talked with all of them about the legislative process and gave them useful tips on how to effectively lobby their Representatives.

L23 Pitt Paid Sick Leave PassesLast week, Pittsburgh passed a law that guarantees paid sick days for every worker in the city.

The victory was made possible by UFCW Local 23 members who spent weeks canvassing and building community support for the law.

Thanks to their hard work, more than 50,000 Pittsburgh workers will be eligible to earn paid time off so that they have the opportunity to stay home and get better when they become ill. L23 Pitt Paid Sick Leave Canvass

UFCW Local 23 is building on the momentum from this victory and pushing for a statewide paid sick leave law so that all workers in Pennsylvania can enjoy the same benefit.
