Vaccine and mask mandates are ludicrous, in my humble opinion. I’d never work for a company that would impose such stupidity.
They aren’t managing their affairs. They are forcing people to inject medicine into their bodies. A Vaccine that has less than a year in use.
What can’t an employer require you to do if they can require you to take experimental vaccines? Can they compel you to have an abortion? Why not? You missing work would be a loss to them. Can they force you to donate a kidney if the CEO is in need and you are a match?
If not, why not?
What can’t they do as a condition of continued employment?
“I can’t say I disagree with her. On principle I would almost universally defer to a business when it comes to managing its own affairs.”
I hope you don’t go too far with that ‘principle’, such as credit card companies and banks being allowed to drop licensed gun owners, and ALL credit card companies deciding to do just that (there are only a few to start with). Would suck to have to pay cash for everything, and if banks were able to do the same, you’d have to be paid in cash too.
So, it’s just as slippery in the other direction too, or more slippery.
