Susan Sarandon tweeted her admiration of Speaker Quinn yesterday:
Spent some time with NY City Council Speaker @ChrisCQuinn. She’s the real deal – smart, imaginative & dedicated. What NYC needs.

But so far, Speaker Quinn hasn’t allowed a vote on the paid sick days bill in the New York City Council. So activists took to twitter to ask for Susan Sarandon’s help:
.@susansarandon, we love <3 your movies and your activism. But please support #PaidSickDays and tell @ChrisCQuinn to do so as well!

Amazingly, Sarandon listened, and responded today.

SF study says #paidsickdays good for business, aren’t abused by workers. Hope it will be put to a vote. Will talk to Cty Council Spkr.

The momentum for paid sick days is growing! Keep up the good work!
