Employers cannot be held liable when workers contract COVID-19 on the job and spread it to their household members, California's top court has ruled, siding with business groups that warned of a potential flood of litigation.
Here's a good thread on this ruling: https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1677663797341745154.html
My anxiety was starting to get under control before COVID hit, then I had to wear an uncomfortable mask in a loud noisy environment and hover on the edge of a panic attack for 8 hours a day for about a year and a half, and it's taken me another year and a half to get this shit under control again.
Lost all faith in the people of this country after seeing the same people come in literally every day and get their extremely pedantic fish order. The words "thank you" lost all meaning for me. They gave us a couple bucks' hazard pay for like 3 months and then quietly stopped giving it to us, and meanwhile they were making record profits and boosting the company's value to attract investors to buy it out. At the same time I watched the last standard political option for a better future get cut down at the knees to force through a shambling corpse puppeteered by the hands of capital itself and crush any hope for tomorrow.
But god forbid the businesses be held accountable for anything at all.
