Millions Of Public Service Workers Face Abuse Daily From Vaccine And Mask Deniers, Trump Remnant

It is shocking how many public service workers, including retail workers, transportation workers, restaurant workers, nurses, doctors, and so many others who do so much good that is not appreciated, face the abuse daily from Vaccine and Mask Deniers!

This rudeness, lack of respect, and lack of concern for others and their safety, is something promoted for the past five years by Donald Trump, and it has become an epidemic!

No wonder many workers are deciding they cannot remain in their fields of work, even in a time of economic difficulties, as the stress level is just too high!

Barack Obama Calls For Paid Sick Leave For All Workers: Long Overdue!

The United States is the only advanced Western nation that does not guarantee all workers the right to paid sick leave, an outrageous situation, but Barack Obama is challenging Congress to rectify the situation!

This includes low paid workers primarily, and restaurant and other food workers are the major group, and by not giving them paid sick leave, it endangers the general public, when these kinds of workers are doing their jobs while sick, and often contagious!

This should be a basic human right, and part of human dignity, that when one is sick, he or she should not be mixing with the population that could up spreading disease.

And also, the paid sick leave should allow workers to take off paid time to help sick parents, sick children, or a sick partner, as family responsibilities are part of life for all of us.

The Republicans, of course, oppose this, but Obama is correct in pushing this idea, and putting the GOP on the spot, as unconcerned about the welfare of workers, which we know, of course, is reality.

This should become a key issue for the Democrats in the 2016 Presidential election!
