deadmomjokes:whyyoustabbedme:the bar is set very very lowRecently in our area, we had several outbreaks of Hepatitis A due to food service workers being sick, but not taking time off. Because they were recently homeless and that was the job that got them off the streets and they literally couldn’t afford to take off. So two counties were exposed to Hep A and the health departments were absolutely overloaded because of it, all because food service workers don’t get paid time off. These people had to make a choice between exposing thousands and staying afloat, or keeping others safe and losing their recently-won safety. It was their lives or the health of others. It should NEVER be a choice. Paid leave is a matter of public health and safety, and should be mandatory. -- source link
