Nobody in the private sector can bank sick days, sometimes not even overtime. Why should civil servants who get pay by my salary in personal income taxes get this kind of benefit?

And should a normal healthy person get sick 1.5 days a month? Most of the people I work with, myself included, many call in sick 4 days a year and that's stretching it a bit. Some seems to never call sick in the few years I work with them.

This has nothing to do with the topic at hand, but I HATE that argument, it's absolutely ######ed.
We all pay each other's salaries whether we're in the private sector or public.
