Constant cancellations on the Jubilee line

Why would union presence have any bearing on sickness? People are quite capable of going sick, genuinely or otherwise, without needing any input from a union.

All LU lines are having issues with cancellations especially at weekends. It’s a combination of continuing high rates of sickness, but also the backlog caused by a higher than normal number of retirements during Covid and the heavy impact Covid had on recruitment and training.
