Any adjustment to sick leave, unless they give us more unverified, is an auto NO vote for me. I'm not going to move an inch.
We already gave the company the sick policy they "had to have" on the last contract. It's time for our must haves.
Problem with posts vs face to face... Did I suggest changing the sick leave system in the post? I'm ok with changing some things FOR A PRICE. I agree the "sick abuse" is probably a red herring... Maybe, but I can also imagine Mr A telling SD his division has a $48M problem he needs to fix. That is potential leverage if SD is willing to pay >> $48M to get Mr A off his arse. These dudes are bean counters. Our present sick leave system is hardly "draconian." We get a bunch of sick leave. Being asked for a note occasionally I can live with although I personally find it offensive: this is CURRENT contract . If DAL wants to press the issue I'll call in sick and see a Doc for every sniffle and I'll wind up calling in sick more often and I'll bury them in paperwork. You guys are the ones making a mountain out of a mole hill and you are the ones being distracted. I'll revise my statement: And I'm talking about the current contract under which we occasionally have to verify sick leave. Keep your Doc, BUT if MY doctor couldn't have his/her staff produce a simple BS note for DL I'd change Docs that day. OFG
