As paid sick days legislation
(AB 2716 – Ma) proceeds through the California State Legislature, what does the
voting public think about this workplace benefit? And do California voters see a
public health benefit to paid
sick days?
To answer these questions and
more, CCRWF commissioned the respected
Field Research Corporation to assess public opinion on paid sick days.
What did we learn?
-
Striking majorities of
Californians – across party, demographic, ethnic and economic lines – are
concerned that 5.4 million California workers have no paid sick days – and
voters support legislation that would guarantee every worker the right to earn paid
sick days.
-
Californians not only
consider paid sick days a basic worker right, they also agree that paid sick
days laws will protect the public’s health.
