ITEM: Anchorman Charles Gibson on ABC's World News on February 22 teased an upcoming report by noting the "surprising number of workers who have no paid sick days." He then asked: "Will Congress finally expand sick pay to everyone?" Reporter Betsy Stark, in her report, cited a woman named Elnora, who is "one of 59 million Americans who have no paid sick days at all.
