In France you only get 20% pay while sick? WTF, I thought France was a socialist worker's paradise.

It's legally 50% for the first 6 months - but French work benefits are very largely defined by collective conventions agreed between unions and industry, which grant rights to employees above legal ones across entire sectors. Most employees will have a higher sick pay, but I can't find statistics about it.
