Everybody gets sick. But not everyone has the time to recover. 40% of people working in Portland don’t earn paid sick time while working – not a single day! That’s not healthy for them, their workplaces, their families, their schools – or the people they serve. Portland is considering becoming the second city (after San Francisco) to mandate that companies give paid sick time to their employees. There’s a lot of reasons this makes sense, and EverybodyBenefitsPDX.org can give you all of them. (Their infographic on sick leave is enough to make you sick by itself!)
