QUESTION
Are they allowed to separate us employees and give sick time to the employees who have the 15 years even though we were hired under the same rules?

More details to this question:
At my job, we accrue sick time and it carries over from year to year. When I started at my job 10 years ago, they had a policy that if you left employment for whatever reason you got 1/3 of your sick time paid out to you. A couple of years ago, they changed it to you had to be there 15 years before a certain date which I wasn't even close. So now I'm leaving.

Assuming you work for a privately owned company, the answer is yes. They are permitted to create and administer policies as they see fit - as it pertains to payment of sick time upon termination.
