Paid Sick Days: Why We’re Winning Ellen Bravo EARN Conference September 13, 2011

Growing Momentum One win: a fluke/a local story/the start! Two wins: a problem/call me when there’s a third/on our way! Three: a conspiracy/a trend/a successful movement!

What We’ve Won 2006, San Francisco 2007, DC 2008, Milwaukee 2011: Connecticut, Philadelphia, Seattle, soon Denver 2012: Massachusetts, New York City and more! Campaigns in more than a dozen other cities and states.

How We’re Winning We Are Engaging Workers Involving affected workers in every aspect of our campaigns.

How We’re Winning We Are Building Partners GA: Easter Seals, PTA, GA Developmental Disabilities Council IL: Access Living, Breast Cancer Network, AIDS Foundation, Protestants for Common Good, Academy of Pediatricians, YWCA NY: Make the Road, Domestic Workers United, ROC, Working Families Party MA: SEIU, school nurses, low-income housing developers, NE United 4 Justice National: Mothers’ Day trip to Phoenix Deepening work with labor, small business, immigrants, women’s groups Examples include:

How We’re Winnng We Are Breaking Identity Theft Jim Houser, Oregon Owner, Hawthorne Auto Clinic “As a result of our wage and benefit package, including paid sick days, 8 of our 9 full-time employees have an average tenure of over 18 years at Hawthorne Auto Clinic.”

How We’re Winning Finding Legislative Champions Being savvy in targeting. Making support visible. Neutralizing where necessary. Showing voters paying attention.

How We’re Winning We Are Building Power Raising resources (and targeting). Connecting groups with each other (sharing strategies, tips, lessons, networks) Connecting grassroots with national partners (maximizing research, engagement)

How We’re Winning We Are Taking Action! Creative. Targeted. Newsworthy. Involving workers and other coalition partners.

How We’re Winning Using Clear Messages Rooted in Values No one should have to choose between the job they need and the family they love. Everyone gets sick – not everyone has the right to get well. You don’t want to be served flu with your food. Bad times are the worst time to lose a job because of caring for a sick child. Policies that value families are good for the bottom line.

How We’re Winning Using New Media Tools Working Families Story Bank – audio and photos. Using multiple languages. Social networking.

Contagion: Not Just a Movie

How We’re Winning Demonstrating Real Needs Our organizing, research, polling demonstrate a need for new minimum standards. Workers have identified paid sick days as a modest solution with a major impact.

How We’re Winning Demonstrating Good for Business Cost of replacement: 150% for salaried, $5500 even for $8/hr workers Reports on San Francisco. Not a favor to women: cuts turnover, presenteeism, health costs; improves quality and productivity.

Using poll numbers on paid sick days: How We’re Winning Demonstrating Public Support CityRep.sIndependentsDems Denver58%65%73% New York City75%88%93% Philadelphia64%72% Connecticut61%70%87%

We’re building more than immediate reforms. Building movements, connections, power, capacity. We’re building a world of justice and honor, for working families, and for us all. Building The World We Deserve: In for the long haul
