Are the people hourly or salary? Even if salary I am sure there are ways to take a day off from work.

All that needs to happen is for these people to take a day off or meet on the off hours that they are not being paid and publish it themselves. I am sure there will be retribution but its also possible that legally they can provide a solution to prevent an even worse flue season next year.
