They don't have discreet paid sick days, that's accurate. They do have Paid Time Off that is supposed to allow for vacation and sick days, and short term disability for longer term illnesses. The dispute is whether they are being denied or penalized to use those days if they are sick without notice. The union claims they are, the railroads say they aren't. The board that was mediating said those claims are not wide spread and if the management is over-reaching on denying those, then grievances and arbitration is the tool to resolve those.
