[QUOTE="toonertoo, post: 1255739, member: 1944"] If they do, which the poll appears to be that they do, then it is wrong. I was hired when I was told, we dont like to have women coz they call off when their kids are sick, monthly, etc. I have never done any of those things. In hindsight I should have. My son almost died in the er, with a appendix ready to burst, and the hospital could not get hold of me. (pre internet and cell phones) Because after numerous calls to my center, no one told me anyone was calling me, and I was inside then. Until I was leaving my shift. As a responsible parent. I would never leave a child that sick again. But on the other hand, someone should have paged me. So sometimes people need to call off. Survival. But, I have always told new hires, especially women, dont do it. We had a porter who wanted to go driving, and she was constantly injured. She was a PIA. Hurts everyone to have someone like that on the roster, no matter the sex. My aplogies for being female, needing a good paying job to support my family, and doing the job, just like the guys.
