Eliminating Sick Leave transforms Normal, Mn.: Tales From Normal, Mn.: FICTION

In one dramatic act recently, the governor of Normal, Mn. signed a bill to eliminate sick leave for all public employees----and presto the health of citizens all over this beloved state dramatically improved.

Rather than stay home when sick, and call their physicians, employees boldly came to work and spread their infections all over this fair land---soon many more people were out sick, and the loss of all those wages created quite a cost saving to their employers, at least according to the cost accounting department, which was staffed by temporaries from a temp firm. Their observations were temporary and not certified for this article, but even though temporary, they were certainly as permanent counsel as is usual these days.
