After the reaction from news reports that Republican Charlie Baker would deny nearly a million Massachusetts workers earned paid sick time by opposing the ballot measure this November – a benefit he likely enjoyed himself as a healthcare CEO – the Massachusetts Democratic Party released the following web video with students speaking out and providing the facts.
“As a healthcare CEO, Republican Charlie Baker should know better,” said Democratic Coordinated Campaign Chair Ben Downing. “Apparently it does not bother Republican Baker that a million people in Massachusetts – including disproportionate numbers of women, African Americans and Latinos – struggle with caring for their family everyday and deal with sick time issues all the time.”
