Please take a sick day for swine flu.

I now know I’m not the only one wondering how we’re supposed to follow the CDC’s advice to stay home from work with flu-like symptoms. 

Yes, you should prevent the spread of swine flu by staying home from work when you’re sick. But for the nearly one out of two full time workers without a single paid sick day, that’s not an option! And by the way, the majority of workers in the restaurant industry lack paid sick days. How’s that for disease prevention?

Now you can sign the petition with MomsRising to let decisionmakers know that the time is now for paid sick days for everybody.
