FFS the party you support is the reason “the all powerful government “ didn’t give them paid sick leave. BTW- my pops & my brother are both railroad engineers. They get zero paid sick leave, but on top of that the freight rails threaten termination for “taking advantage” of unpaid sick. That is to say- if you use it at all. Not to mention being a line holder equivalent at a freight rail “holding a turn” still means you literally have zero guaranteed off days to plan around. 12 hours after you block in, they can call & you have to answer and you have to go.
