The International Longshoremen’s Association’s 6-year contract with the East Coast and Gulf Coast ports will expire on Sept. 30 at midnight unless there’s an agreement before that deadline.
They only asked for seven sick days a year and got three. How long does the flu last, and is it safe to have a feverish worker with other workers on a rail system, no less? I’m still annoyed on the workers’ behalf, and I know no one that works for the rail system, nor anyone related to anyone employed in the industry. Right after that was the literal trainwreck and chemical spill and did the workers gain any additional sick or rest days?

Exactly.
Like. Sick days are helpful to the company, too.
Especially if you have staffing able to cover them. It keeps one sick employee from turning to everyone-but-that-one the next week.
I’ve known managers that try to run things the same way. They don’t last long because they lose clients hand over fist.
