Rosa DeLauro actually said...

"Working people need paid time off to recover from H1N1, to care for sick family members, to prevent spread of the virus."

"We need to walk in the shoes of the millions of Americans who work hard every day to support their families."

"Every year the seasonal flu and other illnesses strike millions of us, and every year the failure to let workers earn paid sick days puts the economic security of millions of families at risk."

"Our failure to provide a minimum standard of paid sick days also is putting our public health at risk."
