"Almost half of our nation's working mothers report that they must miss work when a child is sick--but 49 percent of those mothers do not get paid when they miss work to care for a sick child."

"Our failure to guarantee a minimum standard of paid sick days is a significant public health concern, as we witnessed during the H1N1 virus outbreak."

"The new study finds that guaranteed paid sick days would reduce the spread of pandemic and seasonal flu."

"Paid sick days are good for business."
