In theory.... In actual practice, WCB employs standard insurance company tactics in hopes you'll die first

Are hangovers covered. Is taking a day because you are starting a long weekend covered and want 4 days off or 5 or 6. So what he has in his contract is not common within the private sector- and that is where the comparison comes from that was being discussed.
And take your insults and place them to the side please.
If you're going to be a **** about this, then you can talk to someone else. I asked a question, YOU insulted by implying that I was trolling. So get off your fu cking high horse dipshyte. You don't like insults, then don't start em. Remember, you don't have Bear here to protect your skinny a$$.
Great, then it should be no issue to do away with a set amount of sick days entirely. Either you are sick or not and are prepared to provide a Dr's note if required.
That is the literal truth and in Nova Scotia they torture you and your family while your expiring.
As opposed to those in the public sector that arrive at work healthy and unproductive.
Except that you can collect on your unused sick days when you retire. Now that is unacceptable.
The cons are simply shifting the focus to where the real and expensive corruption is. That is the overpaid public service.

So because Pamala Wallin claims too much on her expenses, the civil servants should get unlimited sick days?
No, the fact is, the present sick day policy was negotiated for. Calling it "corruption" when it is nothing of the sort is simply the present conservative government yelling "squirrel" and hoping the short attention span public looks away from the other problems the cons are having.
When the contracts are up for renewal, change the contract concerning sick days.
I don't know. I don't know everybody.
I can't speak for all government employees but I have seen no difference in how hangovers are covered in my time in the private sector or the public sector. Same goes for long weekends. My employer can ask for a doctors note if they so desire. That's the same as it was when I was in the private sector. Look, I understand that some folks get a little jealous when somebody else gets something that they didn't get but jealousy is such a petty and childish emotion.
If you paid attention, you would have understood that the sick days are actually short term disability. As an employee, I have no problem if they do away with a set amount of sick days and instead provide short term disability insurance. I maxed out my sick days anyway.
No I can't.
Don't be silly. If the government doesn't like how the sick days are handled, they can renegotiate when the contracts expire. That's the point. This is nothing more than the Conservatives trying to create a story to distract the simpletons.
Even better, you can go through the insurance company and for this ultra-short term disability and get the pay for missed time from them.
Good luck on that
The banked sick days is a way to give employees short term disability without the expense of insurance premiums. If an employee is abusing the system, that is the fault of management.
No it isn't
... And now, management is saying that the whole program is be sh*t-canned
Yes it is.
No, The Conservative Party is saying that and we all know that is just an attempt to deflect attention away from their own bungling. "Management" will do whatever they think they have to do to get the best deal when negotiating time roles around. That's what always happens.
Thank you Canuck, that was my first thought when I heard this story on the radio.
Throw the masses a bone to go off in a different direction from the Senate and Robo Call issues ............
Senate, MP Expenses: Politicians Can Claim $90 A Day For Food Without Showing Receipts
"That is tax-free money and you don’t have to produce receipts at either place — the Senate or the House — to prove that you went out for dinner and maybe you treated yourself and dinner was $30. You just automatically apply for it and you get it."
"Everyone else pays for their lunch and I don’t see why MPs can’t as well," he said.
A recent audit by Deloitte found that Sen. Mike Duffy had claimed 12 days of per diems while he was actually vacationing in Florida. The Senate told Duffy he owed them $1,050.60. In explaining the error, Duffy’s assistant, Diane Scharf (described in a Postmedia article as a veteran Parliament Hill staffer who had worked for both Liberal and Conservative MPs and senators) called the rules for expenses "convoluted."
Bergamini called per diems a "salary top up" — worth up to $11,881.75 in tax-free money for MPs in 2013 according to HuffPost’s calculations — and said MPs have enough benefits as it is. He called for all MP and senators expenses to be posted online — with receipts.

You remain mistaken
Again, mistaken.
You certainly don't 'know' that this is about in terms of attempts at deflection... And sit tight, because the time to negotiate has already come for some (Canada Post comes to mind) and the rest will be reeling from that precedent that is set.
It's been in the works for some time. These most recent events are just an extension of what was started a couple of years ago
Obviously not
Obviously not, again
Probably not.
Yes, I've notice the Conservatives have been trying this tactic for a few years now. It's just that it is becoming more blatant now.
I guess that time will tell... It won't take long for you to understand the nature of your mistake.
I do look forward to CUPE et al getting their butts handed to them in collective bargaining, perhaps they ought to rename the p[rocess collective withdraw of prior arrangements.
We'll get a good idea here in the next while

Considering you have yet to show me the slightest inkling that you you know anything about that which you speak of, I definitely won't be holding my breath, waiting for you to show me how wrong I am.
