We have to work to live, so why should we not be paid for something we didn’t ask for and cannot control. For employers to not offer sick for some chronic illness just isn’t fair. People shouldn’t have to force themselves to go into their work whilst dealing with the effects of their chronic illnesses for fear of losing out on pay they need to survive.
