Call on Gov. Steve Bullock to Mandate Paid Sick Leave During COVID-19 Pandemic

Governor Steve Bullock

Workers need to stay home and miss shifts in order to help mitigate the spread of COVID-19 and save lives. During this time they cannot face additional anxieties like paying bills on time and whether or not they'll be able to put food on the table. Implementing mandatory paid sick leave will not only help us navigate this situation but it will also set us on a path for a brighter future.

While your response to the COVID-19 pandemic has been smart, pragmatic, and will likely save lives, we are calling on you to do more. Workers need mandatory paid sick leave so that they do not have to worry about paying their bills and putting food on the table while they miss shifts in order to help curb the spread of this disease. Also, by implementing mandatory paid sick leave you will set a precedent that will have us better prepared for similar circumstances in the future.
