Are you denying that American public employees get sick leave and vacation time? because you are very wrong if you think that.
I don't want to call you a liar, but you are implying falsehoods if you are saying that American government employees don't receive paid vacation and sick leave.

Firstly, there is no legislation in America that requires companies to pay holiday pay in (roughly 4 weeks per year in the rest of the developed world). About half of the people in the us (maybe a touch more) actually receive that benefit, and it averages out to about 11-13 days.
Secondly, there are states in the US that are actively trying to destroy workers rights, such as Wisconsin and Ohio, so they can continue in the race to the bottom with policies such as "right to work" where they are trying to make it possible for companies to pay whatever amount they can get people to work for.
