The COVID-19 pandemic showed us just how essential restaurant and retail workers are—servers, dishwashers, cashiers, and stockers keep our communities running. Yet, too many of these vital workers still don’t have access to paid leave, impacting not only their well-being but also our economy, public health, and local communities.
