EARNED PAID SICK TIME

Mamas' Agenda

February 9, 2019

In 2018, Mothering Justice and the MI Time To Care coalition turned in more than enough signatures to put Earned Paid Sick Time on the November ballot.


Women are much more likely to have caregiving responsibilities in addition to their paid employment, including caring for elderly parents, children or ill spouses/partner. Without paid sick days, women are often left with no choice but to forego pay in order to meet their families’ health care needs. More than 2 million Michigan workers are not able to take a paid sick day when they are ill. More than three in four food service and hotel workers (78 percent) do not have a single paid sick day. Workers in child care centers and nursing homes – important jobs with vulnerable populations – also overwhelmingly lack paid sick says. For these families, each time they take needed time off, they risk their families’ economic security and jeopardize the public’s health.
