I don't know anyone that called the rescuers at the WTC "thugs" and find it offensive if they did.
As to the issue of the personal days, I have to side with Kev that if there aren't clearly defined guidelines as to how they can/cannot be used for anything other than sickness, then they aren't really "personal." The concept of personal paid time is that you can use the days however you wish. DL does offer, IIRC, to allow you to accumulate a certain number of unused days from year to year as well as to be paid for some of them at some point, but I'm not sure of the details of that.
But if there is any limitation as to how they can be used, including getting a note in your file for using them, they aren't really personal.
At the same time, though, I will question how there can be recourse for a union regarding an area that isn't covered by the CBA, which several have shown here may or may not be part of the CBA. Other than say express displeasure that someone is being picked on, what can a union really do?
