The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the widespread lack of paid sick in the U.S. According to this reporter, only 4% of all American workers have 14 or more days off a year, and a new study from Berkeley and UCSF has found that 60% of 100,000 service and retail workers surveyed around the U.S. have reported going to work sick. The study, which was part of the "Shift Project," was co-authored by assistant sociology professor Daniel Schneider. Calling the results "really scary," co-author Kristen Harknett of UCSF notes that corporations with more than 500 workers are some of the worst offenders, and these businesses are exempt from the federal coronavirus stimulus bill. The full report is available at the Shift Project.
