Default History lesson on "sick outs"

I'd like to hear from those who've been there. Has your union or group ever organized a "sick out?" Are there laws in place to prevent one now? Pro or con with respect to them?

It just seems like a sick out would have been the perfect "protest" when the management bonuses were released by the legacy carriers recently.

I'm a military guy, getting ready to retire and join the commercial aviation world. So the union vs management issue is very interesting to me. I'm not trying to stir the pot- just very interested in current pilot views.
