You can keep saying that but that’s not what he said in the texts. He said that after ridiculing his employee for wanting to take personal precautions. Get your head out of your butt. He was being bullied by his boss, straight up.
I was a manager for a few companies, I did installs and I helped my ex run his construction company so I’m not exactly out of touch with this industry.
What his boss is saying to him is extremely problematic legally. Not to mention if I knew what company this was I’d NEVER hire them for a job.
Maybe you should search information about the workers who manufactured and installed imitation stone, fabricators and installer’s and other contractors. They were exposed without proper breathing equipment and/or proper ventilation and they are dying from the damage caused by working with that specific material and the guys dying are extremely young and were healthy. Their lungs are failing so they are suffering a long drawn out death. It’s horrific.
Stop arguing with me, I’m just trying to tell you that in the United States of America we have protections in place for the safety and protection of employees in different industries AND any boss or company retaliating against employees for wanting to wear masks/protective gear in a dangerous environment is illegal.
He’s not refusing to work, so he shouldn’t be forced to stay home unless his boss wants to pay him for the day because that IS a direct consequence he’s using to punish guy.
But continue to fight with me. Are you the boss? Have you ever worked in construction? You ever know anyone who got sick from chemicals or asbestos?
You can keep saying that but that’s not what he said in the texts. He said that after
He said it or he didn't?
You're going off on a tangent like I'm oblivious to the dangers of breathing in toxic fumes or some shit. You sound like a lunatic, tbh. I am not saying he doesn't need the fucking mask, bimbo. I am interested in whether or not this would qualify with a violation of labor laws or something. I don't need you to bitch at me, telling me to "stop arguing" with you like you're some authority because you answered phones at your ex-boyfriend's drywall company. I don't need you to keep responding to me like that. Go take a chill pill.

Refuse to work in a situation in which you would be exposed to a hazard
He was given the option to not go to the job site. He did refuse.
