For once, an ad I saw on YouTube has been helpful. The company who makes Theraflu, GSK, has a petition for Congress to make sick days a right instead of the screwed-up system we have now.
I know a lot of people say petitions don't work but if you follow up with your state politicians and bug 'em, then just maybe change will happen.

When I first saw the petition, I wanted more info on it & wondered what the sick day coverage is for GSK employees. I wasn't able to find the corporate policy, but I did find the nonprofit that has partnered with GSK.
