You'd think the threat of H1N1 flu would be reason enough for the U.S. Chamber of Commerce to stop its incessant lobbying. Think again.

Lack of paid sick time for millions of American workers could worsen this year's flu pandemic. But the U.S. Chamber is actually lobbying Congress to not give paid sick time for workers sick with H1N1.

Tell the US Chamber: Let people sick with H1N1 have paid sick leave. Click here to add your name to our petition:

Just how out of touch is the U.S. Chamber with the necessity of paid sick leave for H1N1? One of their lobbyists actually said, "The problem is not nearly as great as some people say."

The facts say otherwise. About 85% of food service workers don't have paid sick leave, and neither do 78% of hotel workers.

These are the janitors, bus drivers and sandwich-makers who clean your office, drive your kids to school and help feed your families and should be able to take the day off work without fear of losing their job if they have H1N1. But not if the U.S. Chamber gets its way.

Sign our petition to the U.S. Chamber of Commerce - tell them to stop lobbying against paid sick leave for H1N1:
