Statement by the President
I commend Governor Peter
Shumlin and the state of Vermont for taking action to provide paid sick
leave for Vermont’s working families. This action means thousands of
families will no longer have to choose between losing income and taking
care of a sick child. It’s a choice no one should have to make. So I’m
once again calling on Congress to help us catch up with other advanced
nations and provide this basic security to all Americans. Until
Congress acts, I urge other states to follow Vermont’s lead. And I’ll
continue to do everything I can as President to support working families
– because it’s the right thing to do to give everyone a fair shot to
get ahead.
