Teeing up the witnesses

Debra Ness, President of the National Partnership, is going first.

“the sooner we act, the better off  we will be.

“America needs a basic workplace standard that allows employees to earn …up to seven paid sick days a year.” Debra’s reminding us that, in the wake of the H1N1 virus, CDC asks people to stay home if they fill ill. Millions of Americans don’t have that option. She’s announcing new research by Human Impact Partners on the public health impact of paid sick days!!

only 15% of food service workers have sick days. half of stomach flu outbreaks caused by food service workers? yikes!
