June 2: Worker's Rights and Sick Days

The announcement that the provincial government will provide 4 paid sick days to workers in Nova Scotia is a major victory.

Since even before the pandemic, health professionals, unions, and community organizations have stressed the importance of people being able to stay home when they need to.

The Nova Scotia government heard us, and while we are thankful for four days, it is only temporary and we will continue to fight to ensure permanent sick days for every worker in Nova Scotia.
