WALKER ON FAKE SICK LEAVE: STATE EMPLOYEES WILL BE TERMINATED, DOCTORS WILL BE INVESTIGATED

[I AM NOT THAT GUY 5,715]

Gov. Walker talks with Sean Hannity about the repercussions of teachers and state employees faking their sick leave with fraudulent doctor's notes. He stressed that the teachers are employees of each individual district and the superintendents can determine what action to take. But state employees are under the governor's jurisdiction.

Good points. I think that bad teachers are at the core of the rotten public school system in the US. This is just another manifestation of their snubbing their noses at taxpayers.

And what, private sector employees don't play hooky? Please.

If they picketed outside corporate headquarters, got themselves on TV, and then tried to collect sick leave, then that is easy. They get fired for misconduct, it's not chargeable to the corporation's UI account, and guess what: No unemployment benefits for the malcontents.

How come? Unemployed is unemployed.

I like the notion of using money from a "broke" state to investigate doctors. I thought we wanted government out of our healthcare?

You generally have to be laid off to get benefits.

Can you imagine the employees that end up suing the state for wrongful termination of employment?

They used a fake excuse (i/e fraud) to get out of work. In turn they receive taxpayers dollars to do it as pay.

Not only should they be fired. They should be in jail.

More unproven comments.

I am sure you have lived every last second of your working life working 100% on work related tasks never stealing so much as a nanosecond from an employer... Only RWN's have great work ethics eh? Everyone else deserves the harshest possible treatment up to and including use of deadly force, with the proviso they need only fail to live up to Paul's morals and political views.

Ah yes... You Tube and all its glorious 'evidence' that always substantiates any point of view. Carry on.

Melissa Molinaro appears on a video too. Therefore, she's Kim Kardashian.

This has more to do with the State License these Docs operate under and guarding against the holders practicing without ethics.

I'm sure matching video footage with sick notes is an effective use of taxpayer money
