Sen. Kamala Harris on Coronavirus: ‘Paid Sick Leave Will Save Lives’

HARRIS: "Here's the bottom line. Paid sick leave will save lives. Paid sick leave will keep communities safer. It's just that basic. It has always been an issue of workers' rights. It has always been an issue of what is the right public policy approach to supporting workers and understanding that every human being, at one time or another, will get sick. And why they should they have to suffer knowing that they'll either be able to stay at home and tend to their illness, or put food put on the table and feed their babies and pay the rent?"
