Truckflyer, I don't think the article mentioned being penalised career-wise for not turning up for work, it said they didn't get paid. Just like the millions of contractors everywhere that simply budget for the fact they don't get sick pay.
So why would anyone reading the article care?
I agree there is an issue, there is still a downward trend in Ts&Cs. But these articles won't convince anyone.
