I think we would all agree on that. This shows the importance of people having paid sick leave and I hope MII's members and all workplaces take note of that.

Another matter that was brought to my attention was the filling out of questionnaires before going into work to show that one is not sick. One report showed there were ten key languages spoken by people whose English was not that good. Are these questionnaires available in different languages? Of course, there is also the issue of low literacy within those languages as well.

The data breach was outrageous. Can the witnesses name any other industry where that happened?
