ICYMI: Why All Working Families Need Paid Sick Leave Blog Roundup
In July, House Democrats released the When Women Succeed, America Succeeds: An Economic Agenda for Women and Families . The overall goal of this economic agenda is to address the realities, disparities and opportunities for working women and families through effective policy and legislation.
Here's a roundup of blog posts this week from the working moms series on Blogher and Hello Giggles, brought to you by the AFL-CIO, that highlight the need for paid sick days, pay equity and child care for working women and families:
- The Importance of Having a Paid Sick Day : Why having paid sick days is important to working mothers.
- Be Good to Your Server: She Could Have Been Me : The truth about what it takes to work as a server.
- My Kingdom for a Waitress Job Description : The highly unregulated industry that disproportionately affects female workers.
