Biden stabs unions and workers in the back
By Rajan Laad
Any employee, irrespective of the kind of work they do, deserves a fixed number of paid unplanned leaves.
The purpose of working is to support yourself and your family. That purpose is rendered meaningless if you cannot avail of unplanned leaves for medical situations or emergencies of the employee or family members.
In rail unions, there's a public interest in their getting this sick leave, too, because workers who don't get paid sick leave are incentivized to show up to work with colds, flu, COVID, or whatever is going around, as they don't get paid otherwise.
Sadly this was the situation with at least some of the 100,000 rail workers across the U.S.
They were unhappy about attendance policies that have been introduced in recent years on a local level in many areas, which makes it difficult for them to avail of paid unplanned leaves for issues such as illness.
