Antiwork

I work in a Canadian school – compared to most people at least in North America, we have a good salary and great benefits. Not to mention a fairly strong union. I am the union rep at my school. Recently, a coworker of mine came to ask me about bereavement leave. Our CBA allows a decent number of days, but most of them have to be taken immediately. They wanted them moved later, to take care of things instead of grieving – they expected the death. Fair to ask, even though the CBA doesn't permit it – you never know. So I suggested they talk with admin, but not to expect anything. They come back to me, happily telling me the VP has agreed to move the bereavement days off.
