Oh they've let Angela have a win, how gracious of them.
For residents of Gilead, 'sick pay' is something you get to tide you over for when you are sick. It's never usually enough, but it's more than you sad bastards probably get ๐
For example...
โข Make flu jabs & covid jabs free for anyone who wants them
โข Mandate & fund minimum air quality in hospitals & public buildings
โข Mandate & provide FFP3 respi masks in all medical settings
โข Fund sick pay for 10 days after a positive covid test
โข Subsidise Pluslife quick testing units, or similar, for schools and medical settings
Probably all of that put together would still be cheaper than _not_ doing it!
Did you know how much money disabled people get, after many strict appointments and justifying their needs to uninformed ableist people? https://www.gov.uk/pip/how-much-youll-get
This is AT MOST. It takes a lot of appointments, waiting, explaining, asking, Mandatory Reconsideration, Appeal Tribunal, and luck that they believe you this time because you legalesed your way into the right side of respectability politics.
But ONLY SO FAR and no further, because, clearly, then youโre just โtrying it onโ to avoid work, and not for any other possible reasons, right? Like. Idk. Being unable, or perhaps, dis-abled from doing so.
Sorry if I didnโt get your condition, health status, disability, injury, illness, or infection in the hashtags.
IDK if thereโs a limit, but your experience is real, regardless.
(Also my brain is like a strange car that is very fast but only at random times and sometimes on certain roads, but not the same road and times because idk. Vibes I guess??)

The #UK is still #rationing #NHS #2024 #AutumnBooster for #Covid.
You could #pay if you trust the #vaccination source (is it the best jab for latest #variants, what are their #hygiene standards, have they stored the #vaccine correctly). Most of you don't matter in the #uk. Lives are ruined by #longcovid & a long list of potentially devastating conditions even from mild #COVID19.

Workers up and down the country are left ill or injured on just ยฃ3 an hour because of the UK's incredibly low rate of statutory sick pay. One in three of the UK's workforce don't get any form of sick pay protection from their employer beyond the legal minimum. Now we have a once in a generation chance to change that. But we need your help to make it happen. In just six weeks there will be a General Election - can you raise this issue with your candidate and help us deliver change? Please sign up - and tell us what you can do.
