Tell City Council: Please pledge to support Majority Proposal for Paid Sick Days

On September 8th, a majority of Seattle City Councilmembers announced their support for the Majority Proposal of the Paid Sick Days ordinance, which would provide paid leave to employees in Seattle when they or their family members become ill or fall victim to domestic violence.

Supporters of the new ordinance include Councilmembers Nick Licata, Tim Burgess, Jean Godden, Mike O’Brien, Sally Clark and Bruce Harrell. The Majority Proposal is supported by the Seattle Coalition for a Healthy Workforce, and will be voted on Monday, September 12th.

But we can't celebrate just yet. Big business lobbyists are making a last ditch effort to water down the ordinance, and we need you there to show your support for the Council members who are standing up for Seattle’s working people and families.

Please join us for a 1:30 PM rally at City Hall Plaza, followed by a march up the steps to attend the 2:00 PM Council meeting and witness the vote on paid sick days!

Sign this petition to thank the Council members who pledged their support for a strong bill -- and urge the full council to vote 'yes' on Monday!

Dear Councilmember,
 
I'm writing to thank Councilmembers Nick Licata, Tim Burgess, Jean Godden, Mike O’Brien, Sally Clark and Bruce Harrell for pledging to support the Majority Paid Sick Days proposal. Your support, just like the ability to take a paid sick day, is critical to working people and families.
 
I would also like to urge every City Councilmember to do the right thing on September 12th by voting ‘yes’ on the Majority Proposal of Paid Sick Days ordinance.
 
Families are counting on the Seattle City Council to pass this common sense ordinance. Without it, 190,000 working people in the city of Seattle will continue to face the difficult choice of going to work sick, or losing a day’s pay – or even their job.
 
Paid sick days promote healthier families, communities, schools and businesses by preventing the spread of disease and boosting productivity and morale.
 
Please show your support for Seattle’s working people and families by voting yes for the Majority Proposal.
 
Sincerely,

G-FKC1JKZLDL
