Reply to comment by worstatit in Pat Toomey was one of the 43 Senators who killed sick leave for rail workers by GraffitiTavern

My friend works for bnsf, their sick days and personal time is so messed up it's actually quite sickening that they have to deal with it. They work of a strike system of every time they call off, even if it's for legitimate reasons.

So it is quite convoluted? Though I understand a need for reliable employees in an industry of this type, there should also be safety concerns involving sick people at posts involvingpublicsafety, aside from employee welfare. Seems the special rules developed over the years for this industry did not help it's employees.
