Robert Reich~33 million of our nation’s workers have no paid sick days.
Only in America do we call working people ‘essential’ but deny them paid sick leave.
WhatTheJules 🫶🏻@rbreich my daughter is a private school teacher and today she is using the last of her THREE sick days. Disgusting
Ardnax@whatthejules @rbreich THREE sick days? During a (still ongoing!) pandemic??? Barbaric
@Ardnax @rbreich I keep wondering what the parents of her students would think about the idea that the person spending all day with their child might be coming to work sick because they cannot afford to stay home. I will gladly pay my daughter to stay home, it is insane that I even have to say that.
@whatthejules @rbreich And then people were like "Why do our kids keep getting sick?" Gee whiz, I wish we knew! 🙄
