Anyone that worked for a Small Business before this can now Officially KISS THEIR JOB GOOD BYE, because this little move will cost their employer dearly. Any chance of their re-opening and hiring employee's was just Thrown away by Wonder Boy, GET OUT OF CALIFORNIA while you still can.
The thing is, you don’t know where you got it from. The kid handing you coffee through the drive though window? Work? The grocery store? Your spouse who’s completely asymptomatic and unaware? How do you tag it specifically to a single day, a single interaction?
I guess he has locked down his support from trial lawyers ... as if that was ever in doubt.
Why would this be limited to only the China-flu?
What about the regular flu? SARS? MERS?
Any other disease contracted "at work" could fall under this.
And here's one no one has thought about.....what if you contract a STD at work? Yes, we've caught people getting "busy" in conference rooms, the stairwell, etc.
Doesn't say much about the quality of people hired does it?
is this a nuisance order? that is, an order which is unlawful on its face? if so, how soon could it be challenged in court?
this is California shuffling the deck chairs on the Titanic. They are going to try and shift people away from unemployment fund and instead pay them from the Workers Comp. Insurance fund.
The EO is lawyer welfare. The EO is juwstification for filing an unlimited number of lawsuits against large businesses to attack their assets.
Small businesses will be exempt because the return is not worth the effort. Large corporations with deep pockets will be the targets.
Rather than hire defense lawyers, the game should change and hit squads should be contracted to end the lawsuits
Stand on a chair to replace a lightbulb and fall, must be Covid19!
Western CSA General Newsom will happily assist in padding the numbers.
Another communist attack on the business community. Bob Bitchin is happier than pig in chit.
Why should a buisness now offer ppe to their employees since they are now automatically guilty of giving the virus?
Since they are now automatically guilty why go through with the protective measures for their customers?
It would be just a waste of money to do anything.
Trump stop this nonsense in California.
Oh boy, I was waiting for this. IOWs, anyone getting the virus can now claim it as a work illness, which means impairment awards if you can show a disability from it.
My question then would be; does this mean any infectious illness that I contract is going to be work related? Flu, shingles, pink eye? What if I get an STD having sex with someone at work?
Another stupid idea from the stupid state.
In CA it’s a Misdemeanor if you knowingly give someone AIDS by failing to disclose to them that you are Infected.
It used to be a Felony but Governor Moonbeam thought that was too harsh.
You can Sue them for damages if you get it, but I haven’t seen it happen on Judge Judy yet.
Pelosi has already said that she is not interested in passing Legislation that would shield Businesses from any Kung Flu Claims.
The Trial Lawyers have promised to always make sure her Freezer is always stocked with $13 a Pint Ice Cream and Dove Bars.
