Rep. Payne, Jr. Introduces Bill to Give Rail Workers Paid Sick Leave

Press Release

Date: May 11, 2023
Location: Washington, DC
Issues: Employment and Affirmative Action Health and Health Care

"Every American worker should have the right to paid sick leave,"

"I am disappointed that the railroad industry did not provide this benefit on their own, especially when you consider it provides this benefit to railroad management. These workers risked their health during the COVID-19 pandemic to keep food and medicine on store shelves. They deserve paid leave to care for their own health. When employees come to work sick, they threaten the health and safety of their co-workers. This bill would allow them to take care of their health without worrying about their income."
