From an injury standpoint yes, from a communicable illness standpoint the edge might be to office workers who work in close proximity. In the warehouses the forklift drivers can easily keep separate from each other, the place is big. But I am in relatively close contact with my managers and clerks most of the day, that is where the illnesses spread the most.
neither are you- so quit responding to me then. I think you just hate seeing anything negative about democrats posted here.
Yes, that's an example of of what I'd say if I wanted you to stop posting. I would never be so presumptuous that I would expect it to work.
Have I objected to the negative things you posted about Democrats? If you check back, you should see that most of have my responses have not disagreed with you there. I can only recall one poster that treated you hostilely, and he's a thorn in the side of the liberals here.
I don't believe I have attacked you. We liberal posters discuss our dissatisfaction with Democrats generally, and Biden specifically, on a regular basis, with one or two exceptions.
The use of "Democrat" as an adjective was a creation of Gingrich/Limbaugh/etc. to avoid associating Democrats with democracy. It makes the user look partisan or stupid. Right now, I don't think of you as partisan or stupid, hence the word to the wise.
At least Cruz himself voted in favor.
Agreed. A bit of stretch to act as if the entire party is the party of railroad union workers after the majority voted against them though.
Wanted to circle back to this post after reading more about this issue.
If you ask your employer they'll tell you that you DO have paid sick leave as it is all included in the PTO benefit. They'll also tell you that they have a "no-fault" occurrence policy which means that as long as you don't miss more than 5 days in a rolling 12-month window you have nothing to worry about. If the absence is the result of a contagious illness (requires Dr. note) you do not get an occurrence point at all for any amount of days missed that are covered by the note. If the issue is medical but not a contagious illness (Dr, note required) that you will receive a single occurrence point for each series of consecutive absences covered by the note. They also changed the policy to not automatically charge PTO days for unscheduled absences and give you the option to use PTO or not.
Ya he sucks. Nice enough dude but a horrible hourly employee (one of the worst ever) and a horrible manager as well.
One thing I just thought of though to go against my argument is that maybe blue collar workers need the sick days more than white collar because most white collar workers have jobs that they can safely half assed perform while sick and/or medicated. Blue collar worker jobs are typically more physically demanding and therefore harder to do when you are under the weather and more dangerous too. Especially if medicated.
This is true too.
So you agree that the Biden and the democratic part of his administration were for the workers in this case and thats a good thing? And you agree that the republicans were in the wrong here?
I left out an important thing I wanted to say. The "no-fault" occurrence policy is actually an "It's always your fault" occurrence policy. Getting points is a punishment, there's no two ways about that. Same guy as I told the story about had a rollover accident on his way to work with his wife in the car, went to the ER and the car was totaled. He got an occurrence for that one. Probably part of the reason he learned to game the system.
Ya and the second guy is a horrible manager too. His ego is one of the biggest I ever met. He thinks he should rule the world and he manages in that way as well. They both shouldn't have their positions imo but I think you are right that part of the reason they got their positions is their willingness to be dicks to the employees and even the fact that I think they kind of like to be dicks to their employees. Plus the poker games im sure helped.
