FYI, many, many millions of people in America that work low paying jobs have zero paid sick days (or paid time off in general).

As evidenced by the fact that there is no federal law about it, and only a handful of states required a small number of paid sick days.

Very aware of that (I’m American), so I should have mentioned that it’s surprising to me given their critical & central role in keeping our whole-ass system functioning. ie even these workers get 0.

I think the rules are shocking because these are NOT low paying jobs. These are "good union jobs."
