Good grief who talked them into that? Long term disability insurance is pretty cheap or at least it used to be.

I have no idea why and when the unions traded sick days for long-term disability. It was way b4 my time. To continue, the first 6 months off pays very well. There are 2 plans one draws the money off of. The second 6 months, one of them goes away. And I think there is a way to still draw something after the first year. I don’t know because I got my disability approved right around the one year mark.
Also, I should have mentioned earlier, I know the clerks get annual sick days. And the ones I talked to over the years, would not ever trade them for long-term like other unions did.
Another thing, after I left, the company cracked down on any and all time off (including actual sickness). This is one of the sticking points that has pissed off all union workers. That’s why they are at this impasse.
