Well I asked my boss if I could take the day off because I had to take care of something and gave him a 4-day notice ahead of time. (It's 5 days ahead to request a personal time). So he asked me if I can get someone to switch with, which I eventually got a co-worker to cover my shift but tells me today that he can't make it because he has something last minute to do. I tried working with my boss to give me the day but he denied my request and says I have to come in. I have sick days and I wanted to just use my sick day and say I'm not "feeling good". I mean he can assume that that's a coincidence but he can't assume if I'm really "sick". My question is, can I get penalized for something like this? I'm in the local 32 BJ union by the way.
