Just last month HB 1807, a bill to make it impossible for municipalities to enact earned sick time laws (an ALEC model bill), was significantly slowed down by amendments offered by pro-worker, pro-family Representatives in the Pennsylvania House. Now HB 1960, it’s very near twin, is moving quickly in the House and could come up for a vote as early as Wednesday.

Please ask your House Representative to OPPOSE HB 1960 and preemption of earned sick time, but also to SUPPORT amendments that might make the bill less onerous. Ask your Representative to oppose all efforts from Harrisburg to limit or deny earned sick time to Pennsylvania workers.
