On Wednesday, April 24, the Dallas City Council voted 10-4 to pass an ordinance that will require employers to provide earned paid sick time for Dallas workers.
“On this historic day, the powerful voices of working people in Dallas have been heard,” said Jose Garza, Executive Director of Workers Defense. “Dallas City Council has done the right thing and voted to provide paid sick time to working families so that no one in Dallas has to choose between taking a pay cut or losing a job, and staying home to care for themselves or a sick child. We have fought for many years for this day and look forward to continuing to make sure that working people get what they deserve.”
