What it boils down to is what amounts a lawyer’s consensus.
If employees get Covid, regardless of the source, they can sue their employer.
If they wear masks while working, the employer has protected them from getting covid at work. If the employee gets covid, he cannot sue the employer.
As always, lawyers seeking illicit money from bogus lawsuit are at the root of the issue
And isn’t it interesting that Home Depot would rather muzzle its customers and employees than demand Deep State provide it with the same kind of liability protection Deep State gives so-called public health employees....

I can understand an employee filing suit if the employer prohibited masks but what if the employer allowed/encouraged the employee to wear masks.
Of course, an employee could sue if the employer allowed unmasked persons to enter the facility and the employee became infected.
This is really a problem caused by not allowing the employer to police who enters by requiring proof of vaccination. If the employer merely posts a sign that unvaccinated must wear a mask, you know that many unvaccinated will ignore the sign and enter without a mask anyway. The employer really doesn’t have a good option except mandate masks.
