Third Division Award No. 33994 (Benn) (Burlington Northern Santa Fe)

"Aside from the fact that the Carrier's leave claim form makes repeated references to 'injury' and gives the employee the option of requesting 'sick leave,' Rule 55 mandates payment for 'sickness' and does not make the distinction between sickness and injury on duty that the Carrier seeks in this case. It is a fair interpretation that an employee who is 'injured' and cannot work is also sick."
