Dodd offers bill on paid leave for flu
Senator Christopher J. Dodd introduced "emergency" legislation requiring companies to pay employees who miss work because of the swine or seasonal flus.
"If paid sick leave had been a reality when this pandemic began, we would be in better shape," Dodd, a Connecticut Democrat and member of the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee, said at a hearing. "This isn't just a workers' rights issue, it's a public-health emergency."
Dodd's bill would guarantee paid sick days that workers can use to "take care of themselves and loved ones if they are affected by H1N1 or seasonal flu," he said.
