In leading with our mission to 'eliminate racism and empower women', the YWCA Silicon Valley is committed to ensuring that the inequities already faced by our vulnerable communities are not further impacted by the public health and social justice inequities of COVID-19. YWCA Silicon Valley requests the City of San Jose to support a paid sick leave ordinance that will provide a safety net for our community.
I am writing to express my support of Item #3, requesting an urgency ordinance to expand paid sick leave for working people in San José. Now, more than ever, local residents need our help to ensure paid sick leave in light of COVID-19. As a nonprofit (Veggielution) working in the food industry, we cannot stress enough how important it is to protect the health of all employees and their families, in particular low-wage workers, many of whom are serving on the front lines of this crisis.
Please support item #3. We are in an unprecedented situation where we are looking to the leadership of our city leaders to stand up to protect our communities and our health. No one should have to make the tough decision between making rent and taking care of their family during an emergency. Let's be a model for other countries across our region, state, and country, and show that in times of crisis, we are talking the lead in protecting the residents of our city.
For the safety of our entire community, please support paid sick leave. Workers who might be ill should be able to recover at home without fear of losing income.
SOMOS Mayfair is writing to urge the San José City Council to approve the Paid Sick Leave Ordinance that will be considered at the Rules Committee on March 18, 2020. At the March 10, 2020 meeting of the Santa Clara County Board of Supervisors, the County’s Health Officer, Dr. Sara Cody informed the Board that since novel Coronavirus has spread to the community, containment is no longer an option and that focus must shift to slowing the spread of the virus.
Please support item #3 paid sick leave. The health and safety of our community is critical to making it through this crisis; employees need to feel secure in their decision to stay home when they are sick. Thank you!
Please support Item #3, the paid sick leave proposal from CM Esparza, CM Carrasco, and CM Arenas. Our testing resources are very limited, so for the health and safety of everyone in the community, we need to make sure that people who are sick feel like they can stay home without losing pay. Without a paid sick leave ordinance, many people will still go to work even when they are sick so that they can continue to support themselves and their families.
I am a current full time student at West Valley College and a part-time employee in the San Jose area with employer significantly decreased my hours. My mother now unemployed. My father - being in the at-risk category for illnesses - is torn between staying home to stay healthy and possibly loose his job or to risk his health and continue to work and keep our family in good standings.
I come to the City of San Jose as an example of so many more families. I support ordinance to protect families.
Regarding Item #3, I fully support Councilmembers Esparza, Carrasco and Arenas proposal on a paid sick leave and public health emergency ordinance. working families are experiencing a once in a lifetime hardship due to the corona virus. The employer community needs to be providing a safety net to their employees during times of crisis.
On behalf of Students Against Displacement at San Jose State University, I strongly support the passing of this ordinance in protection of low wage workers. As students, all of us know someone or have personally been affected by this issue through the recent loss our jobs, hours or access to financial support during this time. Low income families, students and low income workers are in danger of falling between the cracks. Employers should be supporting their staff during this scary time.
I strongly suggest, the City Council vote in favor of assisting the low wage earners in our City, whom are among the least of us. With schools possibly closing for the remainder of the school year. It will be extremely difficult for them to feed their families.
If the federal government is willing to pump money into the Airlines, who has had record making profits with baggage and seat fees for the last few years. The Great City of San Jose can assist the workers whom help make this city run
Regarding Item #3, on behalf of Working Partnerships USA, I strongly support Councilmembers Esparza, Carrasco and Arenas proposal on a paid sick leave and public health emergency ordinance. Workers are facing incredibly harsh circumstances with the shelter-in-place orders leading to lost hours, wages and income families need to support themselves. Employers should be taking steps to support workers in these times.

Support item #3. We need to protect our workers in this time of pandemic in order to protect the greater community. This is a critical safety net.
