I would be against it, despite the biased form the question was posed in, for the same reason that CastleBravo is opposed to it. It destroys incentive. It's like asking if employees should be payed to attend free T-shirt day the fair, or if they should just be given an extra two weeks' paid vacation.

Ultimately, it needs to be the employer's decision. If they do pay for sick leave no matter what, they'll suffer a loss in productivity. If they refuse, they might suffer a bigger loss in productivity due to everyone being sick, or because they suffer a high turnover rate. Let them decide, that's why they make the big bucks, or lose everything.
