Sick CTA Workers Are Suffering!

This needs no further explanation:

"I’m currently on the bus hot then cold, feeling weak, coughing, congested head and body aching and not in any mood for the shenanigans that the bus offers but I have to be here because I can’t afford to miss a day of work. Risking my life because I’m really not sure what’s wrong with me besides the fact that I’m sick. Due to the inability to take time off without losing pay. I feel so undervalued."

We deserve Paid Sick Leave and Short-Term Disability (so-called Sick Book). If it is good enough for CTA managers, then it is good for us!
