Is There Anything I Can Do Legally?

My employer is forcing people back into the office, but isn’t requiring Covid vaccines, masks or social distancing. We have employees traveling between offices in New York and Atlanta, some of whom I know work closely with unvaxxed colleagues. Is there anything I can do to protect myself from getting fired if I refuse to go in due to the lack of safety protocols?

got sent home for not doing anything

so i work at fast food and was supposed to be done at 9 pm, but by 8ish we had nothing to do, so my manager told another coworker to do a task but not me, so i talked to my coworker while she was doing that and my manager made me go home early because “i wasn’t doing anything” can i still get my pay for the last 15 minutes? she’s a manager so she’s supposed to delegate so i don’t know why she was acting that way. im not a part of any union because the union that people at my work are a part of sucks

Pretty much summed up in the title. Those who know me are aware of my fondness for fandom conventions and cosplay – I've even participated in promoting, organizing, running, and when necessary running around trying to unfukc the fukcups of others. I attended a show in SW Ontario summer 2009 for a particular fandom that was having a feature film debut about it, and to my surprise executives from the company behind it were in attendance. I was there dressed as one of my favourite characters and both the main event organizer and studio exec took notice and liked my stuff. I had a good time, got home after and went on with my usual stuff. About a week later the main event organizer finds me online and informed me that the exec wants to talk to me about something nifty.

Under capitalism, unions are the strongest tool that working people have to secure a better living. It’s our responsibility to convince our coworkers that we can organize around clear demands to win immediate improvements & demonstrate what is possible with a union that can secure lasting gains

Mike Rowe hypocrisy

Anybody else think it's a bit ironic we have a guy complaining about people not wanting to work and “silent quitting” that's famous for finding the worse jobs in America and quitting after one shift You ain't fooling anybody Mike, I see you. I see you

If you’re going to complain about “quiet quitting,” then we should talk about “quiet firing.”
