Dear Members of Congress,

In these tough economic times, rather than attempting to gut the Fair Labor Standards Act and weaken overtime protections, we need Congress to focus on passing meaningful reforms like the Healthy Families Act (H.R. 1286/S. 631). Passing the Healthy Families Act would provides workers the right to earn up to seven paid sick days each year so that mothers and fathers, spouses and partners, sons and daughters can take the time they need, when they need it, to provide the basic care their loved ones need, and to take care of themselves when illness strikes or medical needs arise.

The "Working Families Flexibility Act" is a great name for a bad bill. Please vote against this bill and focus on policies like the Healthy Families Act, which will actually strengthen our nation.
