How many workers are you talking about? And is this a right to work state?
Not a right to work state, and I imagine it would be maybe 10-15 of us, maybe up to 20 I'd imagine
Also, there are no current policies around doctors notes, how many days you can take in a row etc. Its always been that you can take them when you need to
My local has a “no strike” agreement, (way before my time and we are trying to get rid of it,) so mass call-outs are what we do now when we are unhappy about something. Last time negotiations came back negatively, we had almost 300 workers across 12 different contractors call out for a long weekend.
Oh damn, good luck getting rid of it!! This labornotes article may be helpful in getting creative on negotiating that
That's amazing; so it sounds like sickouts are a potentially safe way to protest this issue? We haven't gotten to economics yet, so maybe it would be more strategic to do that once we get counters on that. We are all outraged at our coworker getting fired and I think everyone would be down to call out in protest for her, but idk just how much we could get away with
