It also makes it more difficult for sick people to call in sick. I have no doubt that if we give management a carte Blanche authorization to use any "designee" to determine whether we are sick or not and thus determine if we get paid or not for that sick time, some guys won't take the chance of calling in sick and will just show up to work. I don't want to work next to that guy. I don't want to get sick on a trip because of that.
I'd rather lose a little profit sharing and make sure everyone is happy and healthy when they show up to work.
Your arguments are weak Joe, and I hope you don't actually think that you have any chance of representing us.
Try a different route to a management job if you want one, cause this one ain't it. Sorry
