[QUOTE="zubenelgenubi, post: 4244713, member: 63706"] I was researching this, and could have sworn I read it somewhere but couldn't find it. Right when the search function wasn't working. I realize, now, that's from your local language. What I found in my local contract is that upon the 8th sick day, they start taking health and welfare payments out of your sick pay. Other than that it doesn't look like there is a limit on how long you can call off sick, or that you need a doctor's note after a certain time. We don't have any specification on when you must call in by, as far as I can find. My questions about these two points, and I don't know if you guys will have an answer but it could be some food for thought, are these: If it is not specified in the contract, can UPS establish their own policy about these issues? If so, isn't that dictating terms of working conditions without bargaining for them? I guess these questions could be generalized to all company policy concerning issues that should be subject to collective bargaining. Should the company even be allowed to set certain policies if the issue is not covered by negotiations? Wouldn't that be considered an unfair advantage for the company to dictate working conditions and bypass bargaining? Maybe [USER=4992]@BigUnionGuy[/USER], [USER=14176]@Bubblehead[/USER], or [USER=8481]@Mugarolla[/USER] have some thoughts? [/QUOTE]
