We have seven sick days by Union contract but each one still counts as a point. Last April I went out on works-mans disability for two months because I had to a double hernia repaired and i gained two points. I was late a two or three times by only two or three minutes because of traffic and called early to tell them about it but still got dinged. Had a three lates which i had told them about a week ahead because i had to take my 86 mother for outpatient surgery for cancer, still got dinged with points.
I have been there 15 years and been a truck mechanic for 37 years, but the people at work that i can talk to about it can do nothing about it. They tell me it's corporate policy. So at any rate, I don't plan on having another late or miss for anything. I had my mothers HMO changed to a much better one that works with me. And i guess they will have to haul me out of work in an ambulance if anything else happens.
Thanks for reminding me about it again, i think going to be getting to work even earlier
