I agree. Does anyone know what the sick leave policy is for these unions?

Most union workers have no sick days. They traded them off years ago for long-term disability benefits. One must be off 2-weeks before that takes effect, though. Which is the downside because the company knows most people going out sick will return under 14-days. There is no compensation for those who will only be out, say, because of a bad flu. And in actuality, the long-term benefits go for 6 months, then another 6 months but at a reduced rate. After the year, one should be back to work or on permanent disability.
I know, I’ve been through it.
