Stop asking for more benefits. Ask for more money.

We need to prohibit corporations from offering any benefit at all.

Universal healthcare, for example, will never happen until corporations are out of the picture completely.

I mostly agree with you, but some benefits don't have a publicly funded alternative (eg. Vacation days)

Get paid more and you can afford to take time off unpaid.

True, but you also need the right to take time whenever you want without fear of losing your job. There is some negotiation of exactly how many days in a year your employer is willing to let you take off, regardless of whether or not they are paid.

If your company can't handle planned absences, it sure as hell can't handle unplanned ones, like when you get sick.

Yes, I know most companies don't staff properly.
