On August 18, a super-majority of the San Diego City Council overrode a mayoral veto restoring the new Earned Sick Leave-Minimum Wage Ordinance. Now, paid petitioners are trying to repeal the measure. Please don’t sign their petitions. Their deceptive tactics have been documented.
If you see a petition gatherer, please call 619-930-3300 to report it.
The passing of the ordinance makes San Diego the largest city in the country to give its workers a raise and require employers to allow workers to earn up to five sick days a year. The measure is set to take effect January 1, 2015, unless the paid petitioners win. Area businesses funded by out-of-town corporate interests are trying to overturn this widely supported Ordinance by sending OUT-OF-TOWN paid signature-gathers into the streets with a petition to overturn it.

Volunteers urgently needed through September 17, 2014.
Donations are needed too! Deep pockets are funding the out-of-town effort that will take away sick days and the local minimum wage from hundreds of thousands of hard-working San Diegans. Contribute today to the grassroots effort to preserve sick days and the minimum wage. Donate here.
Together we can protect this ordinance that will help hard-working San Diegans and their families.
