Does anyone know if there would be penalties for having an organized sick-out if there is no contract yet signed? We are not bound to any no strike clause and a coworker was fired and I think naturally people are calling out sick anyway due to stress. Can we be fired for insubordination or something? What are the risks?

Oh damn, good luck getting rid of it!! This labornotes article may be helpful in getting creative on negotiating that

That’s amazing; so it sounds like sickouts are a potentially safe way to protest this issue? We haven’t gotten to economics yet, so maybe it would be more strategic to do that once we get counters on that. We are all outraged at our coworker getting fired and I think everyone would be down to call out in protest for her, but idk just how much we could get away with
