and then THE FINAL RESULT. where “look behind” came so so so close to winning, but “i trust that she is there” came out ahead by 0.1%. so maybe, maybe, we did it right this time. maybe this time we were able to save her.

The US does not have a national standard on paid sick leave, a rarity among industrialized nations. Roughly 1 in 5 civilian workers lack paid sick days, but the prevalence of the benefit varies widely by occupation and wage, according to federal data. Public sector workers, management and professional employees and higher-earning staffers are more likely to have access to paid sick days.
However, many others are not as fortunate. Roughly one-third of workers in service, construction, extraction and farming occupations don’t have paid sick days. About half of part-time workers lack the benefit, as do more than 40% of those in the lowest quarter of wage earners.
Overall, about 33 million workers have no paid sick days, according to Family Values @ Work Action, an advocacy organization.
The lack of paid sick leave hurts both workers and the economy, said Seth Harris, professor at Northeastern University and former top labor policy adviser to President Joe Biden.
Americans with disabilities or chronic conditions may be less likely to accept positions if they don’t come with paid sick time, which creates structural barriers to employment, he said. And companies aren’t required to offer the benefit, forcing some people to come to work sick or face losing pay or their jobs.
“The most disempowered workers – who are low-wage workers – don’t have an opportunity to demand paid sick leave from their employers,” he said.
Also, people who come to work when they aren’t well are more likely to spread their illness to others. This became a major problem during the early part of the Covid-19 pandemic among essential workers who lacked paid sick days.
“It’s a bigger issue of trying to take care of the entire workplace by making sure people know to stay home and that they have the flexibility to stay home if they are sick,” said Emily Dickens, chief of staff at the Society for Human Resource Management, a trade association.
Railroad workers’ battle
While the vast majority of union members have paid sick days, the freight railroad workers do not. Among other demands, they have been threatening to strike in order to get paid sick days that are not in the current contracts.
The railroads say that workers can use personal time if they need a sick day. But the unions argue that with current staffing levels and scheduling rules, it’s difficult for workers to have personal days approved, and they are likely to be penalized or even fired if they call in sick anyway.
What benefits the rail unions obtain is now up to Congress, after the tentative deals – which lacked paid sick leave, but included lucrative pay increases – were rejected by the rank-and-file members of several unions. That led Biden on Monday to call for lawmakers to pass legislation averting a rail shutdown by officially adopting the tentative agreement approved by labor and management leaders in September.

“I lost focus and had a consensual work place relationship”

New Yorkers were put on this earth to teach the rest of their country what it’s like for non-Americans to deal with an American.

Capitalism is broken and incapable of fixing itself. The only solution is labor solidarity.
