Most people use their allotted sick time for an unexpected illness, sick child, or medical procedure and don't see the utilization of that time as having the potential to be an act of civil disobedience or protest against the government or their employer. However, one group rising in membership plans to use their sick time for precisely that — taking a page out of organized labor's handbook and using their collective action to expose and potentially even directly impact what they view as systemic injustices against the working class of the United States. Known as "The People's Sick Day," the online

Man, it's hard to have democracy when one side only respects elections when they win. If they win, they govern us; if they lose, they do everything in their power to prevent our candidates from governing according to what we voted for. There isn't even a semblance of respect for what the American people decided during the election.
These people are un-American.

If you don't feel that your job is important, then sure. Go ahead, make an ass out of yourself and show your disrespect for your employer. There are three people for every vacancy available. You may be in for a long wait for your "entitled" unemployment compensation. Ha ha, ho ho, hee hee; strange things are happening. Hat tip: Red Buttons.

I will plan to work and shop on those three days.
Will there be less shoplifting on those 3 days?
The list of demands is a joke.

Employers love this day. 1. They get to clear the books of overtime at a cheaper rate. 2. They find out who they can survive without.

IF I find out when these days are scheduled, I'm going to make it a point to go buy groceries or whatever is on my 'pick up next time I go to town' list.
I'm with #1.... These 'strikers' are likely bottom-of-the-barrel employees, fire 'em..... and I'm also with #10..... I wager that most people will not even notice, just like those two 'National Protest' days (or whatever the Left called 'em) we had earlier this summer. I saw NO effect in my area.
Maybe ABC, NPR, the WaPooPoo and the NY Slymes will shut down on those days.
Wouldn't that be a cause to celebrate!

Since most of these professional protesters do not have jobs, I doubt if this will cause much harm.
For those who do call in sick, their employers know that they are faking it and will take notice.

Instead of 'People's Sick Day' it should be 'Sick People's Day' because these people (Democrats) really are sick and should get professional mental help.

The only sector this would effect is the post office, but I don't think the average person would be able to tell they are on strike.

The danger in this little campaign is that those people will not be missed and employers will figure out that they are better off without them. Many "workers" in today's businesses are just useless manequins. When you strike without having a crooked union to back you, nobody is on your side. Sayonara!

Reading some of the comments of the protestors gives one an insight into the demented minds of people who have been brainwashed for 12+ years in public education. Frightening.

That's going to really hurt their feelings when productivity is found to have increased during their absence.
Really, this just shows how this crowd has the mentality of spoiled children; ''If I don't get what I want I am going to lie and say that I'm sick, so that I can stay home.'' Next, they will threaten to hold their breath.

Smart employers will take note of those persons on their payroll who choose to make a statement on 'People's Sick Day' and fail to report to work. They clearly identify as people who do not value the mission and needs of their employer, and their best value to their job would be to be removed from the payroll either to save money or to hire a more dedicated employee. Every day is an IQ test, and some fail miserably.

These people are psychotic with their fanatical need to control the narrative. Fortunately for us, they are not the brightest bulbs in the socket, so they keep using the same playbook, hoping we won’t notice.

I am retired now, but when I worked, I rarely took a sick day. Sometimes I went for years without one. Only time I ever took a snow day was when three or four feet of snow fell and it took 6 hours to clear the driveway. I would work Fridays when most people would take a vacation day or a half day. On a Friday afternoon, I was one of the few in the office. Management appreciated all of that.
A political sick day? I would never participate in such an activity. Neither would my coworkers regardless of political beliefs. It was recognized that the workplace held an extreme diversity of views. We were a group of people that knew one another, in many cases, for over 20 years, and saw each other in some cases as much as we saw our families. Only way this worked was we all had to get along with one another.

I liked the term limit idea!
Does that mean I am a radical spoiled child crybaby finding agreement on that one?
Just "Imagine" (cue up John Lennon) that everything would be provided for free and there were no cares in the World with a Utopia on Earth in its nothingness....
There is a place like that-- it's called HEAVEN. Until His return, humankind will have to wait doing what we can to live out and help others to do what He did.

Wow; it sounds like we live in Venezuela, Cuba, or Haiti. No wonder we spend so much on entitlements and free stuff. /s

Every participant in this folly needs to give a copy of their grievances/demands to their employer and quit their job if every demand isn't met. That'll show them.
What... the employers accepted their offer to quit their jobs?? But, but, but... that wasn't in the grand scheme of the Marxist organizers! Wait, wait, wait... we didn't really mean it!

Dig deep in this article and you'll find an unknown psychologist starting the next meme that PDJT has dementia."One expert, Dr. John Gartner." He has never examined the President. No idea where he is. This is a vicious rumor that the MSM will love.

Mary Trump at work again. How did you all miss this?
FTA:
Known as "The People's Sick Day," the online movement aims to address a laundry list of social and political issues by withholding one of the average American's only powers outside of a voting booth — their labor and buying power. In a post addressing their planned walkout, they slam the 902 billionaires living in the United States. It comes after a Trump family member revealed the latest chilling symptom of the president's cognitive decline and revealed he is “far gone”.

About 20 years ago we had our first nation-wide "No immigrants" day. The idea was to scare the bejesus out of the public about how important immigrants (read: illegal immigrants) were to the economy and how they would be missed if absent. Instead, reports locally indicated that large retailers (e.g Walmart) were crowded... with mostly native-born Americans of various ethnic backgrounds and *all* of whom spoke only English. (Imagine hearing *no* Spanish!) It reminded me of department store shopping in the days of my childhood in the 1960s and 1970s. Those "No Immigrants" days were suspended for lack of effectiveness.
I suspect the same will happen here... except that any employer who identifies employees participating in this protest will have all the cause needed to fire them... Let's hope they do so and their jobs can go to job seekers who don't view employers as ATM machines.

Unfortunately, most people do not work for billionaires. They work for small or mid sized businesses where the absence of several staff or having to meet any of the ridiculous demands for pay and benefits might put them out of business or force staff reductions. These people are brainwashed idiots who have no idea of how a businesses finances actually work. They are only hurting themselves by hurting their employer.

They can do that and when it comes tie to getting a raise they might just not get one. If anyone of them worked for me that is what I would do and they an also can forget a good reference.
