Why is it okay to take advantage of these workers? Because their work is labor-based?

I don't get separate sick time. It got rolled into PTO years ago and I was good with that. Most professional type workers in the US have moved to PTO vs discrete sick and vacation days.
The railroad workers get more than 10 pto days too. I think 15-25 was the average I read. 10 is the number of those days they are supposed to be able to use without notice.
With the move to combined PTO, short term disability is usually beefed up, so that anything longer than 4 days is covered so that anyone with a significant illness isn't penalized. That seems common both to the railroad workers and where I work.
