This Labor Day weekend, families across Missouri will celebrate the working conditions afforded to us by labor movements \u2013 especially the 40-hour work week and safe and healthy workspaces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But there\u2019s still work to be done. In Missouri, only a slim majority (58%) of full-time employees are eligible for paid sick leave \u2013 and there\u2019s a clear class divide on who has access.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Missourians who are paid more are more likely to have access to paid sick leave, but that just doesn\u2019t make sense. All workers get sick<\/strong>, and so do their families. If managers and executives get paid sick leave, so should every single employee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We can make life better for working families in Missouri.<\/strong> Over 135 countries and 14 U.S. states mandate paid sick days for workers. It\u2019s time we add Missouri to the list.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While it\u2019s important to celebrate the accomplishments we\u2019ve made, the best way to celebrate our workers is by investing in their futures.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
