Consider yourself "fully" informed to the highest TWU standard. I can give a summation, "We're talking".

Sick time, a part of our compensation package (AMTs). That is money left behind for those of us that will be let go and no chance of recall. It stands to reason that those monies should be paid out to those employees. I know of many coworkers with significant sk banks that would be able to use that cash to help them start over. I have over 450 hours which comes out to a little over $15K. Thats alot of money to leave behind. A union worth anything would be lobbying for employees sick time to be paid in full along with the severance and any unused vacation. Yes, I know we do not have a union capable of such an act. I just thought to throw it out there to see if anyone else was of the same opinion.

I think the BEST you could hope for on that is what those who retire receive. $25 per day of unused sk days; about a tenth of what you're expecting...

I know what the contract calls out. That does not make it right. This is something that should be looked at in my opinion. When was that $25/day nonsense negotiated? 1960? All I`m saying is that is compensation we have earned, 5days/year, much like vacation.

If you want value for sick time I suggest you start using it.

Can I assume your one of those tough guys that chooses to come to work and share you sickness with those around you? You've been played Player. $25 per day value when you were to retire or 1/2 pay option showed how much they cared about you. I can bet many of us haven't been suckered into banking such a high number as yourself.
