Facts

The next day, the department received notices of illness from three officers on the C turn and two officers on the B turn. The officers all gave various reasons for their alleged illnesses. There was no evidence that the officers’ union, Lodge #28 of the Fraternal Order of Police (the union), had instigated or otherwise encouraged the officers to collectively give notices of illness to the department.
