Public Sector Sick Days Abuse

In my domain, unionized day care workers on the subsidized side get six weeks vacation. Teachers get eight. Something is definitely wrong with this picture.

It's no surprise to me sick days are elevated in the public sector. Then again, I'm just an extremist.

Naturally, public sector unions are not happy and contest the Taxpayers Federation's finding but I think it's closer to the truth than we care to admit - across the continent. Notice Quebec heads the list.
