Common sense is not necessarily the law however. If you take the strike out of the equation, look at what you have just said. You are off work sick. so come into work, so we can see that you are sick. Common sense would be to say stay at home until you are better, but now because of industrial action, even non striking non members would be suffering potential detriment.
