Paid sick days should be a basic right, not a privilege – The Independent
theindependent.ca
The Liberals mandated 10 paid sick days for just over four per cent or Canadian workers. We need to do a lot better.

    Until very very recently, not if you’re a rail worker in the United States. And even now, not that much. The exploitative nature of our country’s “work ethic” is beyond ridiculous.

      Why drill down to “rail worker”

      Sick pay isn’t mandated by federal law. Only a few states mandate it.

      And fun fact only ~10 states require breaks in the work day. No federal law either.
