Paid leave doesn't prevent the railroads from doing PSR, it just makes it more expensive. Right now, they're pushing the cost onto the workers, and also the public, since sick workers ultimately burden the health care system and there are safety risks in having sick workers operating trains. This makes PSR look more efficient than it actually is for the economy at large. As a matter of public policy, we should make companies bear the true costs of their business and have those costs reflected in their pricing, rather than foist those costs on the public under the table and off the books.
