SUMMARY:Demand 10 on the 10th: 10 Permanent Paid Sick Days NOW!
DESCRIPTION:Facebook event page: https://www.facebook.com/events/499177324736838/ \n\n\n\nGather with a small group of your neighbours to push for 10 permanent paid sick days for workers in Nova Scotia. We will be organizing many simultaneous demonstrations at many locations throughout Nova Scotia on June 10th at 6pm. Fill out this form and we will match you up with 4-5 of your neighbours to be part of one of these protest pods. Sign up here: https://forms.gle/whhbZXPghd3XUf6X7 \n\n\n\n• West End Halifax (North St & Windsor)• North End Halifax (NW intersection of Robie & Young)• Dartmouth (Portland St. and Eisener Blvd.)• South End/Downtown (Sackville & Brunswick St)• Timberlea (TBD\, e-mail info@fightfor15halifax.ca)• Musquodoboit Harbour (East Petpeswick Rd & the 7)• New Glasgow (George St & Riverside Parkway)• Amherst (TBD\, e-mail info@fightfor15halifax.ca)• Sydney (TBD\, e-mail info@fightfor15halifax.ca) \n\n\n\nLow wage\, frontline workers have carried us through this pandemic: making the most sacrifices and taking the most risk. But these workers are barely scraping by\, and many cannot afford to miss work\, even when they feel sick. The provincial government’s solution – four temporary sick days paid by the province – is a short-term measure for a long term problem. If living with COVID is to be our reality going forward\, then 10 paid sick days must be a permanent fixture to protect workers and their families. \n\n\n\n*** Sign up to join a protest pod here: https://forms.gle/whhbZXPghd3XUf6X7**** \n\n\n\nWhether it is workers in part-time employment trying to string together multiple jobs in order to make ends meet\, or workers without paid sick days who can’t stay home from work at the first sign of symptoms because they can’t afford to lose pay\, fair wages and paid sick days must be central in how we face living with COVID\, Influenza\, and other deadly infectious diseases.The evidence shows paid sick days are effective at curbing transmission of infectious disease\, including COVID-19.•Yet\, 58% of workers across Canada have no paid sick days\, and that jumps to over 70% of low-income workers \n\n\n\n• Even 75% of workers in the service sector\, including food services\, and 50% in health & social services sectors where the risk of exposure is highest\, have no paid sick days.• No one should have to choose between staying home sick & paying the bills• Black\, Indigenous\, and workers of colour are over-represented in low-wage\, frontline work & are most at risk of becoming infected \n\n\n\nWe hear a lot about thanking essential workers\, but why is the government not protecting them with paid sick days?The CRSB has been widely criticized as inadequate to meeting the challenges presented by COVID-19. Ten employer-paid sick days a year are needed to ensure that no worker experiences a disruption in their pay by staying home when sick. \n\n\n\nNOTE: Protest Pods should still be socially distanced and wear masks.
