Stop employers from issuing sickness warnings to staff off sick due to work related injury

Stop employers from issuing sickness warnings to staff off sick due to work related injury.

Why is this important?

It is completely unfair and immoral that workers who suffer an injury in the workplace are punished by receiving warnings due to sickness level. Accidents can have a bad enough effect on a person, but making them worry about getting a warning due to an accident that wasn't their fault in inexcusable.

This has to stop. People should be able to feel safe at work, but in reality the employer can punish you due to their failings, this is not right. Let's change this common practice.
