So, from what I understand, the union has an issue with the number of paid sick days they get.

They are asking for 15 days a year (sounds high to me) and were offered 1 day a year. They are at 0 days a year now. Avg. pay $64K.

Congress gets 13 sick days a year, 'works' about 185 days a year and average pay is $175K per year, not to mention the benefits, shameless insider trading and lobbying kickbacks

Yes, Congress is the perfect group of thinkers that can really get down and spend some time on the big issues. It probably took less than 15 minutes for these clowns to pass the bill and present it to President Mumbles (with the press and cameras present of course).
