I'd guess they could take LWOP to campaign for McCain/Palin if they wanted to. Any cites to indicate that this is not the case would be interesting reading indeed.
What is LWOP?

Leave With-Out Pay
I have no doubt that there are campaigners of both parties who are being compensated either knowingly or unknowingly by their employers. Many are probably govt employees being compensated by the taxpayer. If you extend this back the last couple of years and consider that this happens every
4 years, that amounts to a lot of lost productivity.
No. But the union is hiring workers that have been made available to work for its political action group. If a worker took leave, nothing would stop them from taking a temp job with a GOP PAC.
