Paid Sick Leave Campaign 

Why this matters:

  • Workers need paid sick leave to protect their health, financial security, and workplace safety.

  • Without guaranteed paid sick leave, many employees face the impossible choice between going to work sick or losing wages, jobs, or health.

  • Paid sick leave reduces disease spread, lowers public health costs, and improves productivity and morale.

Our goal:

  • Amend the Labour Standards Act to require all employers to provide a minimum of paid sick leave for all workers in Newfoundland and

    L‍abrador. ‍
