@priyachandwriter what's worse is that the management and support, all sitting in cleaned daily and climate-controlled offices, get sick days and personal days. They're not even subject to exposure to the harsh climate and the engine cabs are not sterilized and cleaned on a daily basis like their offices are. The toilets on engines are dirty and dispense into blue chemical more similar to what you'd see at a porta-potty.
The workers who are the bread and butter for a company are the ones who the company can least afford to let have time off, and are usually the workers subject to the worst attendance policies set by the management.
