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 ๐Ÿ˜ž

UK government set to make statutory sick pay a right for every worker

Huge changes will be made to the UK sick pay rules next month, with some 1.3 million Brits set to be eligible for it for the first time.

The London Economic

For example...

โ€ข Make flu jabs & covid jabs free for anyone who wants them

โ€ข Mandate & fund minimum air quality in hospitals & public buildings

โ€ข Mandate & provide FFP3 respi masks in all medical settings

โ€ข Fund sick pay for 10 days after a positive covid test

โ€ข 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 youโ€™re just โ€œtrying 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 didnโ€™t get your condition, health status, disability, injury, illness, or infection in the hashtags.
IDK if thereโ€™s 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??)

It's made clear there aren't any #mandatory #Covid #rules. Many people have inadequate or no #sickpay. Many don't believe it's serious. Most don't believe they will suffer long-term consequences of #Covid19. Almost nobody can be bothered to protect the #vulnerable.
More than anything in my over 60 years, the #pandemic has demonstrated the true nature of people, #employers & #Government. #COVIDisAirborne #longcovid is prolific & the #virus damages #organs.

NHS says do this for 10 days as Covid cases and deaths rise again

Experts have previously warned about the spread of the XEC variant, which is thought to be highly contagious

Sick pay isnโ€™t a bonusโ€”itโ€™s your right. The UK must ensure all workers are treated fairly when theyโ€™re ill. #SickPay

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.

DWP PIP warning as 'vicious cycle' sees record number of Brits off sick

The number of previously healthy people unable to work is growing - in what experts call a 'vicious cycle' that compounds sickness into long-term unemployment

Stand up for sick pay

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.
