Return to Story IndexWALMART SICK DAYS
BUT DESPITE THIS EXPERT ADVICE, CRITICS SAY SOME COMPANIES AREN'T MAKING IT EASY FOR THEIR EMPLOYEES TO COMPLY. The blistering new report takes aim at Walmart's sick policy... and it comes just as flu season.. and fears of the H1N1 virus are now in full swing. Every day, workers across this country must decide what to do if they-- or their children get sick. Stay home-- as the CDC recommends? Or risk being penalized? The report says at Walmart... it's a real dilemma. (SOT/ Charles Kernaghan/Director, National Labor Committee) "It turns out walmart has a punitive point system where workers receive a demerit if they take a sick day. No matter what the reason. // The workers have to drag themselves to work sick." These two women-- have worked a combined twenty-plus years at Walmart. They've asked us to conceal their identities-- afraid they'll get in trouble for coming forward. One worker, a mother, says her daughter woke up with a 103 degree fever. And still, mom went to work. (SOT/ Worker 1/Mother) "I had to go to work today. I have 3 points.// I had to choose my work over my daughter today." Walmart agreed to go on camera-- to defend their policy--- (SOT Gisel Ruiz/Vice President, Regional General Mngr, WalMart) "We encourage our associates to stay home if they're not feeling well, or if they need to take care of a sick child." but when pressed further on the policy.. about what happens on the first day a worker calls in sick... we asked why employees must take a personal day or vacation day or simply not get paid? (SOT) " that is.. stumbles.. really back to the option of the employee of whether they want to use their personal time, personal paid day off or a vacation day.' We then asked, Why aren't they allowed to take a sick day on day one? (SOT) "That's just the way our policy is written. That's our policy." And so we clarified.. no such thing on the first day as a sick day? (SOT) "Correct." And when asked about those demerits for days missed those "occurrences" as Walmart calls them.. we were told the policy DOES account for extraordinary circumstances... telling us no employee will be fired for getting the H1N1 flu. (SOT) "Our attendance policy is written in a way that's flexible to meet the needs of our associates, but at the same time allows us to take care of our customers and run our business." The workers see it differently: (SOT/Worker 2) "You go to work sick, try to do the best that you can. It's terrible."

Return to Story IndexCANCER COMPASSION
BUT A NEW STUDY OF CANCER PATIENTS SHOWS THAT TERM MAY MEAN DIFFERENT THINGS TO DIFFERENT PATIENTS. A NEW REPORT OFFERS SOME INSIGHT INTO WHAT CANCER PATIENTS WANT IN THEIR INTERACTIONS WITH DOCTORS. THE STUDY, CONDUCTED BY RESEARCHERS AT THE UNIVERSITY OF PITTSBURGH CANCER INSTITUTE, SHOWS 72 PERCENT OF THE PATIENTS WANT THEIR DOCTORS TO CALL THEM BY THEIR FIRST NAME. 37 PERCENT OF FEMALE PATIENTS PREFERRED TO HAVE THEIR HANDS HELD DURING IMPORTANT VISITS, WHILE ONLY 12 PERCENT OF MEN WANTED THE SAME TREATMENT. BUT LISTEN TO THIS: 95 PERCENT OF PATIENTS WANT THEIR DOCTOR TO BE HONEST WITH THEM ABOUT THEIR CHANCES OF SURVIVAL AND CURE. THAT STUDY WAS CONDUCTED BETWEEN 2006-2008, AND INVOLVED 508 PATIENTS WHO WERE UNDERGOING RADIATION TREATMENTS FOR BREAST, PROSTATE OR LUNG CANCER. THE STUDY AUTHOR, DOCTOR AJAY BHATNAGAR, (prono: uh JAY BOT na Gar) SAYS THE GOAL OF THE RESEARCH WAS TO DETERMINE WHAT PATIENTS WANT FROM THEIR DOCTORS, AND WHETHER DOCTORS WOULD BE ABLE TO CHANGE THEIR BEHAVIORS TO SUIT INDIVIDUAL PATIENTS. HE SAYS A STRONG PHYSICIAN-PATIENT RELATIONSHIP IS ESSENTIAL TO HELP CANCER PATIENTS FEEL COMFORTABLE WITH THEIR TREATMENT PLAN. FOR TODAY'S HEALTH MINUTE, I'M REGGIE AQUI.
