OPPOSE SB 15 - CALL YOUR SENATOR!

Published: Feb 27, 2019

CALL NOW! 1- 833- 417- 4260

It’s common sense: no Texan should have to choose between going to work to pay their bills and calling in sick to care for a sick child or elderly parent. But millions of Texans don’t have access to paid sick days at work. That’s why working people in several Texas cities, no longer willing to wait on a Legislature that would not act, united to push for local policies to provide every worker earned paid sick time. And now the corporate lobbyist backlash has begun.

At the state legislature in Austin, a new proposal called Senate Bill 15 would dismantle local paid sick leave ordinances and would prevent cities or counties from passing any new laws to improve benefits and workplace safety. It’s time for us to make our voices heard, and to stand up and fight for working families. Call your Senator! Tell them to stand with working-class Texans and oppose SB 15 today.

In Solidarity,

Texas AFL-CIO
