Received this e-mail today from Secretary of State Jason Kander's (D. MO) U.S. Senate campaign:
Think about this next time you're out with your family at a restaurant: over 75% of America's food and hotel service workers clock in to their jobs without the benefit of guaranteed, paid sick leave.
It's no wonder that 63% of restaurant workers in one study reported cooking or preparing food while sick.
Passing paid sick leave is a common sense idea supported by the vast majority of Americans. It's so mainstream, that in March it even passed in a Republican U.S. Senate, where it's been almost impossible to approve meaningful legislation benefiting working families.
Every Democrat voted yes, and a number of Republicans even joined them. But Missouri's Republican Senator, Roy Blunt, voted no.
Sign my petition: Urge Congress to pass guaranteed, paid sick leave for all Americans -- and tell Republican Senator Roy Blunt to join them in that effort.

The paid sick leave legislation that passed the U.S. Senate protects small business and is good for big business, as well. Because, as we've seen time and time again, promoting employee well-being is good for business.
This is America, and working families should never have to decide between their health and paying the bills. And when I'm in the Senate, you know I'll stand up for those families.
Thanks for adding your name.
