A similar ordinance is being drafted in Oakland.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The United States is one of the few wealthy nations that does not guarantee paid sick leave for all workers.

The state requires employers to guarantee three paid sick days per year. Only 4% of all U.S. workers have 14 or more days off.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With so little time off, workers in the pandemic are being asked to choose between staying home and making no money or working while sick.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Working sick is something many Americans are used to doing.

But she was focused on, more than anything else, our capacity to be resilient and to meet challenges head-on, our capacity as human beings to refocus our energies, a sense of purpose, and a sense of optimism and faith that will get through times of challenges — times like today.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote size=\"medium\" align=\"right\" citation=\"California Surgeon General Nadine Burke Harris\"]‘The health impacts of coronavirus go beyond infection and COVID disease.’[/pullquote]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Newsom said he knows that Californians can’t do it alone. So he asked California’s Surgeon General, Dr. Nadine Burke Harris, to create a \u003ca href=\"https://covid19.ca.gov/manage-stress-for-health/#top\">series of guides to help people manage stress\u003c/a> during this time of crisis.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Burke Harris said millions of Californians who aren’t sick with COVID-19 are still managing a ton of stress — and that stress can manifest in real, physical pain.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The health impacts of coronavirus go beyond infection and COVID disease,” she said. “It’s important to know that these changes aren’t just in your head, and to begin to identify how stress shows up for you — physically, emotionally and behaviorally.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Burke Harris, whose expertise is in childhood trauma and its long-term health impacts, said the way people manifest this stress is different for everyone. Some people drink too much. Some can’t sleep. Some get headaches or other physical symptoms. And some may get violent, or be the victim of violence.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The state’s website includes \u003ca href=\"https://covid19.ca.gov/resources-for-emotional-support-and-well-being/#top\">a series of hotlines people can call\u003c/a> — including for people who are struggling with depression and suicidal thoughts, are victims of violence, or if they are worried about the safety of a child.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Additionally, Burke Harris said, there are things people can do at home to help manage this difficult period.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“While we keep our physical distance, our social supports to maintain emotional and spiritual connection are more important than ever for our physical and mental health,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postID=news_11808968,news_11807639 label='More Resources']Burke Harris urged Californians to exercise, eat right, get enough sleep and try to still connect — albeit virtually — to their social support networks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Safe, stable and nurturing relationships help to protect our brains and bodies from the harmful effects of stress and adversity,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She announced two “\u003ca href=\"https://covid19.ca.gov/manage-stress-for-health/#top\">playbooks\u003c/a>” that rely on evidence-based guidance for how to relieve stress.

With the sharp decline of union membership and spike in personal debt, more of these workers have had to take on second and third jobs to survive.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And now on top of all this, they are on the front lines of a global pandemic, one that has exposed their precarious situation, while adding another layer of burden and responsibility.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote size=\"medium\" align=\"right\" citation=\"Vanessa Bain, Instacart shopper\"]‘Right now there’s a heightened sense of awareness, thankfully, that our labor is essential, but it’s still not paying like it’s essential, and we’re still not being protected like we’re essential.’[/pullquote]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Employed by businesses considered essential, these workers are putting themselves and their families at risk by continuing to go to work, enabling everyone else to access food and other basic necessities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even so, many of the workers KQED has interviewed in recent weeks said their employers have not provided sufficient safety protections or offered adequate additional compensation to account for the health risks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As Instacart shopper Vanessa Bain put it, “Right now there’s a heightened sense of awareness, thankfully, that our labor is essential, but it’s still not paying like it’s essential, and we’re still not being protected like we’re essential.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Before the coronavirus hit, a number of these workers were already struggling to make ends meet.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Among the workers KQED has recently profiled: \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11806175/coronavirus-poses-heightened-hardship-for-workers-who-cant-take-sick-leave-or-work-from-home\">Lyft and Uber driver Erica Mighetto \u003c/a>had been searching for a steady job for three years in Sacramento, and had started sleeping in her car and on friends’ couches after being kicked out of her apartment. Alina Martinez,\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11808522/chase-center-workers-left-unemployed-and-uninsured\"> a suite attendant\u003c/a> at San Francisco’s new Chase Center, was negotiating with her employer for health insurance, which she hasn’t had since September. Hotel housekeeper Larrilou Carumba had spent years paying down about $35,000 in credit card debt incurred after a personal disaster, and she was getting ready to finally move with her three kids out of her crowded sister’s house in San Leandro. And in-home health care provider Carnella Marks was being paid just over minimum wage in Chico to feed, nurse, bathe and tend to a patient with severe dementia.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, the coronavirus crisis has been a boon for many employers of low-wage workers. Grocery stores across the country are breaking sales records. App-based delivery services are being flooded with new users. Products are surging through the warehouses of Amazon and Walmart.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To meet rising demand companies are hiring. Instacart alone plans to add 200,000 shoppers. Amazon said it’s looking to add 100,000 more workers in its warehouses. Individual grocery chains are adding on thousands and thousands of jobs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Under pressure from workers, many of these companies are beginning to do things like provide hand sanitizer and let workers wear masks and gloves on the job. Some companies have started to offer hazard pay of an additional dollar or two an hour. Others are adding emergency paid time off for those who end up getting sick.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But some of the workers KQED spoke to said these efforts fall far short, given the level of risk involved. And now, they have more leverage than they’ve perhaps ever had before, as demand for their services continues to rise.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>KQED is keeping a running tab on the conditions of workers in a variety of different sectors who have been thrust onto the front lines of this pandemic.

The United Food and Commercial Workers International Union (UFCW) has successfully pushed to have those restrictions lifted and helped some workers negotiate hazard pay raises of up to $2 an hour. The union represents some 1.3 million grocery and food service employees, but doesn’t include workers at Whole Foods, Trader Joe’s and a number of other massive grocery outlets.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This week, workers at Whole Foods called for a nationwide “sickout” to push for higher pay and better working conditions.
