Day of Action for Paid Sick Days

Over half of workers in Canada have no paid sick days. Even amid the COVID-19 pandemic, no government in Canada has brought in paid sick days. This is putting workers and public health at risk. Join us in calling for 7 permanent paid sick days for all + an additional 14 paid days during public health emergencies. Every province must act now. Join the Day of Action for Paid Sick Days:
