STATEMENT OF KRISTIN ROWE-FINKBEINER, Executive Director and CEO, MomsRising, On the Passage of the Paid Sick Days Ordinance in Tacoma, Washington

January 28, 2015
Statement Last night, Tacoma made history as the very first jurisdiction in the nation to pass a paid sick days ordinance in 2015. The ordinance passed by a vote of 8-1. The final ordinance improved on Mayor Strickland's original paid sick days proposal by covering all workers, including those in labor unions. The 40,000 members of MomsRising in Washington state and the over one million members nationwide who have been working hard to advance paid sick days, mark this moment as a step forward.
