I probably shouldn't even bother talking to you about this since your point isn't even valid yet you defend it anyway.
It doesn't bother me all that much if Canada posters get some perks, but if we are talking about something not being rational, then being able to bank sick days is exhibit A.

Sure, not all people will fake illness to get a doctor's note, but a large portion will take what they think is entitled to them, and if they went to all the trouble of banking up loads of sick time, many are going to use it.

I've worked enough around unions to know how union culture is. If postal workers are wanting to be compensated for their lost banked sick days then they likely intended to use them. If not, then why would they care?
They would just take their sick days when they are sick and bring in a doctor's note. The average person isn't sick anywhere close to 18 workdays a year anyhow.
