Connecticut

On June 4, 2011, Connecticut became the first state in the country to pass legislation ensuring that many workers in the state will be able to take paid time off to recover when they are sick or to care for a sick family member.  This state-wide victory is an important first step in building momentum for numerous other paid sick days campaigns around the country.  A Better Balance is working in New York City, Philadephia, Denver and Seattle, among other places, to make sure paid sick days are a reality for all workers.  Click here to read the Connecticut bill.  For more information about the Connecticut campaign, click here.
