Paid Sick Leave

Grocery store workers are essential workers, but often have not been provided with appropriate protection during the current pandemic. This report describes efforts made by one union local to protect workers, including negotiated paid sick leave and specific safety practices. Union representatives from 319 stores completed 1612 in-store surveys to assess compliance between 23 April 2020 and 31 August 2020. Employers provided the union with lists of workers confirmed to have COVID-19 infection through 31 December 2020. Worker infection rates were calculated using store employees represented by the union as the denominator and compared to cumulative county infection rates; outcome was dichotomized as rates higher or lower than background rates. Restrictions on reusable bags and management enforcement of customer mask usage were most strongly associated with COVID-19 rates lower than rates in the surrounding county. Stores that responded positively to worker complaints also had better outcomes. The union is currently engaging to promote improved ventilation and vaccination uptake.

Paid Sick Leave

In recent years, more and more often the attention of the Soviet public and government bodies has been drawn to the question of combating truancy and dismissal due to temporary incapacity for work. With the ongoing disputes between the insurance authorities and the People's Commissariat for Health, there is no consensus on the control over the release of the insured. Meanwhile, the number of paid sick leave days is growing every year and. although the number of insured people is also increasing, the growth in sick leave payments is sharply increasing. If in 1925/26 196.8 mil. Were paid throughout the USSR. rubles, then? in 1926/27 - 215.2 mil. rubles, in 1927/28 - 295 mil. rub. and in 1928/29 - 320 mil. rub. It is still unknown what 1929/30 will show, but Tsusstrakh had already had to transfer funds from the G medical fund to pay for temporary disability in order to keep social insurance, one of the most valuable gains of the October Revolution.
