Subject: Paid Sick Days - We Want to Hear Your Experiences


          Dear M.A.I.N. Members and Supporters,

We are resending this request on behalf of the Maine Women's Policy 
Center.  Please note the toll free number to call.

The Maine Women's Policy Center, along with other coalition partners, is 
working on a law that would require employers to provide a certain 
mumber of sick days to their employees. Currently, half of all Maine 
workers do not have access to paid sick days.

If you are a Maine worker in a job that does not offer paid sick days, 
we would like to learn about your experiences. How do you deal with work 
obligations when you or a family member is sick?

Please share your thoughts with us in a 30 minute phone interview. You 
will be compensated $30 for your time, and your personal information 
will not be disclosed.

If you would like to participate in this research project by scheduling 
an interview or have further questions about the interview process, 
please contact Sandy Butler, University of Maine School of Social Work, 
at (207) 581-2382 or toll free at 866-577-8308.

Thank you!
