Workers' Liberty

Oh yes it is! At least according to a leaflet sponsored by TfL.

Medicine? Rest? Recovery? Pah - they're for wimps! A hard day's graft is what you sickly types need.

The leaflet encourages us to reject common 'myths' about ill-health including such fictions as: illness can be cured by medical treatment; you should take sick leave if you are sick; and a sick note means you should stay off work.

Unsurprisingly, this leaflet appears not to be endorsed by any authoritative medical body. Just by a bunch of employers and insurance companies. And by the Health & Safety Executive. Which shows how concerned for your health and safety they really are.

Perhaps they should read some of these facts to remind themselves that work is not alwasy good for your health.
