In 2006, San Francisco became the first locality in the nation to guarantee paid sick days for all its workers. Since then, a national paid sick days movement has grown. Advocates in more than a dozen states as well as on Capitol Hill advanced paid sick days initiatives in 2008. Washington, DC and Milwaukee, WI became the second and third in the nation to pass paid sick days, and the first to include safe days for victims of domestic violence, sexual assault, or stalking. In 2010, there are more than fifteen active campaigns across the country. Use the map below to find the latest information on your state.
