I do not see what the problem is. People with small children get sick leaves many times per year, because children get ill in kindergarten very often. I know women who will get 5-10 one to two day sick leaves per year due to menstruation cramps. People are not robots, people get ill. I have very good employer which would never question employees job security due to illness. If you do not - search for a better one, join a union and/or inform your colleagues that their rights are protected by law. The horror stories I hear about evil employers - usually the employers themselves would be the first to take sick leaves or have luxury long lasting holidays that the employees cannot enjoy. Such employees are conditioned to slave away and forget that their rights are protected by law.
