This keeps coming up in this thread, so I will ask those of you with less than 10 sick days per year; do you also have short term disability coverage? I ask because when I started a new job I found out we had a very high number of sick days per year; a number that I thought was quite silly.
Then I found out that we didn't have Short Term Disability; so it made sense. The extra sick days were to cover that mising coverage. I also found that with no ST; our Long Term Disability premiums were a lot more than at my previous job.
I'm not saying I'm siding with the postal union; but anybody who is complaining needs to re-examine what they have themselves. If you aren't doing an "apples to apples" comparison; the numbers are meaningless.
