Senator Patty Murray - Mad You Don't Get Paid Sick Leave? Here's Who to Blame

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

In the last few weeks, every single American has heard the advice: "if you're sick, stay home."

It’s advice everyone should follow—because reducing the spread of the coronavirus is absolutely essential in the coming days and weeks if we want to save lives and reduce the impact of this urgent public health threat.


Here’s the problem: 32 million people in our country have no paid sick days. In other words, for one-in-four workers, taking one of the most impactful steps we can to combat the virus could mean losing a paycheck or potentially a job.

There’s no sugarcoating the reality that what we’re up against requires everyone to change their behaviors and make choices to protect themselves, their families, and their communities.

1. She should keep re-introducing it, over and over...

...and over and over, until they HAVE to do something about it. Maybe that's what she means by "I'm not giving up." Do they still call her "the mom in tennis shoes"?

4. I call her "Fighting Patty".

I'm so proud to have her as my Senator.

She and her colleague Senator Cantwell are a one-two punch of dedicated, smart, progressive leadership.

2. We also need paid Family Leave too.

And don't forget that George H W Bush vetoed the original Family Leave Act, but Bill Clinton signed it.

Yeah, the family values party. More BS.
