Also dependent on the state. Some states mandate minimum sick leave, others don’t. Then there’s the issue of paid vs unpaid: if you’re living paycheck to paycheck it doesn’t matter if you have all the unpaid sick leave in the world, you’re not going to use it because you literally can’t afford to.
I’m really sorry. Please try and share this idea with others. Surely this is something the voting public could get behind if they knew how bad they really had it.
Edit: I understand the nature of your political structure makes this difficult.
At least half the voting public will vote for whoever their news station of choice tells them to vote for. And all of those news stations are owned by billionaires.

You don’t get any federally?! Damn, I don’t want to complain too much as a Canadian but you guys are really bringing us down.
Many of us get none at all. I haven’t had a sick day for the past five years.
It’s not something to be proud of. It’s exploitation.
