Reply #98: I've been in 2 sick outs in my 33 years in a union job. Both

[sufrommich]

times the vast majority of us took it with no pay,we all knew we weren't going to get paid for those days,the point of both sick outs was to settle the contract. Are you trying to imply that the union organizers solicit doctors to write sick notes? I have never,ever seen that happen. I'm not trying to "mythologize" strikes at all,I'm saying union members making labor actions know the penalties and do it anyway.
