On Tuesday, May 19, 2015, Teamsters Local 743 joined with Arise Chicago and the Earned Sick Time Coalition, urging the new City Council to take action to provide paid sick days for all workers in Chicago.
Also in attendance were ROC Chicago (Restaurant Opportunities Center), Local 881, UFCW Women Employed and Mujeres Latinas en Accion.

Over 460,000 Chicago workers have no right to a single paid sick day. Jobs can be compromised for missing work to care for their sick child or elderly parent.
Workers who come to work sick are less productive and infect other workers, customers, and the public.
?Earned Sick Time is already required in the following cities: New York City, San Francisco, Washington, D.C., Seattle, Portland, Jersey City and the State of Connecticut.
