ACORN - The Association of Community Organizations For Reform Now - is joining a push for paid sick days for all U.S. workers. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, 48 percent of American workers don't have paid sick days. A bill in Congress sponsored by Senator Ted Kennedy called the health Families Act that would give workers at least seven paid sick days a year.
