		<description>What about unions, who have collectively bargained usually for a higher wage rate yet do not get paid sick days?  The totak wage package for my union employees is over $85.00 and hour, how could I possivble afford to pay sick days at that rate?  What happened to personal responsibility?  Sick employees can use vacation time or ask for make up hours if they need to take off due to an illness.</description>

		<description>How about the fact that they are not requiring a doctor&#039;s note for this?  That is unbelievable. These are people who know nothing about meeting a payroll, running a small business and yet they continue to put unrealistic mandates on small business and wonder why no one is employing anyone!</description>
