“As a small business owner, I support having paid sick days for my workers. Healthy workers make productive workers, and my business will be much stronger if my employees are able to take the time they need to recuperate from illness without worrying about the effect taking a day off will have on their income. It also will help me create a healthier, germ-free workplace and better serve the customers who come to my deli. This makes good business sense to me.”
--Marco Reinoso, owner of Superstar Deli in Bushwick, Brooklyn
