About this Event

The Center for American Progress, Half in Ten, and the National Partnership for Women & Families invite you to a discussion on the growing momentum for paid sick days laws. Paid, job-protected sick days provide a critical workplace standard that promotes the economic security of U.S. workers and their families and safeguards the health of our communities.

Join us for a conversation with Connecticut Gov. Dan Malloy, who championed and signed the nation's first statewide paid sick days law, Seattle City Council Member Nick Licata, the champion of the paid sick days ordinance that recently made Seattle the third U.S. city with a paid sick days standard, and local restaurant owner Andy Shallal, who provides paid sick days to his employees.
