While COVID infections spike in BC, there has never been more urgency to demand action on paid sick days.

Frontline workers have been working throughout the pandemic and are at greater risk of exposure. We are calling on all health workers to use their voices to demand for paid sick days on December 2nd.

The Chief Public Health Officer of Canada, Dr. Theresa Tam, released a report that recommends paid sick days to achieve health equity and protect from the current and future pandemics. Without paid sick days, "particularly if they are economically insecure, workers may feel unable to comply with public health guidance to stay home when sick."

We are at a political moment where BC has a majority government and Dr. Tam recommends Paid Sick Days.  Join us, health workers and health organizations on an organizing call for paid sick days on December 2nd at 6pm.

We’ll have the opportunity to learn from each other and to talk about the fight for paid sick days.
