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.

If they intend to use the days to get time off then why wouldn't they use them when they were able to use them? Why would someone bank 200 sick days over years of work and all of the sudden decide to use them?
I believe when they retire they get paid out for any of the days they didn't use. Almost like a bonus, like some of us get every year. They never get a bonus at Christmas time or year end so maybe it was a trade off?
Your point makes no sense to me. I don't see someone saving up all these sick days over years and years then decides to fake doctors notes to take them.
