from City Cast Pittsburgh · host City Cast
Many of us have had to choose between going to work sick or losing out on our paycheck. Although Pittsburgh has a paid sick leave policy, some advocates say it’s not enough. City Council's expected to have their final vote tomorrow to increase sick time, so Host Megan Harris is checking in with 32BJ SEIU’s Sam Williamson who's sharing more about how we got here and why he thinks City Council should vote yes. If you think your employer isn't giving you appropriate time off, check in with the Pittsburgh Commission of Human Relations. We talked to them about how you can tap into their free resources or file a complaint.
