Or call in, and pick it back up in day 2 when you're "well" again

You're lying about what's on the SAPA forums, or maybe you don't have access? Yeah I think the latter.

It took major bail outs and all the job growth is the the south with Japanese and European manufacturers without a union.

Not being able to switch jobs at the appropriate level and having to start over at the bottom is only related to the seniority system. And that is self-induced as in pilot induced. It is probably not gonna change ever but our own doing.

As for being paid for experience ... That is also a little misleading. People are generally paid for productivity. In many sectors that relates to experience to some extend.
