Everybody Benefits is Connecticut’s campaign for paid sick days. Formed by a broad coalition of public health professionals, women’s advocates, union members, faith leaders, small business owners and concerned citizens, the Everybody Benefits campaign believe that Connecticut needs a basic workplace standard for paid sick days to protect the public health and the health of our workers, our families, our healthcare system and the economy.
