Support unions.

@HannahSky It's absurd that railroad workers don't get paid sick leave. They have to use their vacation leave to cover time-off due to illness. Where I work, we accumulate both sick and vacation leave during the course of our employment. It ought to be that way everywhere.

@Rutterman Same here. I can't believe people don't automatically accrue this time off, paid. It's not ok.

@Rutterman I absolutely agree with you. It would be even more effective to guarantee employees sick leave without financial loss or having to compensate with their vacation. That's how it is where I live. An employee can be sick for up to 6 weeks with full pay and without having to sacrifice vacation time.
