One week ago, a court in California ruled that employers cannot be sued for spreading COVID to their workers due to lack of protections.

This week, In-N-Out banned their employees from wearing masks.

This is horrible.

@luckytran how is this not analogous to banning PPE in other circumstances? Like can you ban office workers from wearing hard hats? Can you ban chefs from wearing oven mitts / aprons?

IDK, maybe it's not a perfect analogy but it seems like if your workers want to wear masks / hair nets that seems fine? Who actually gives a shit about that day-to-day other than management?

NOTE: This is very separate from /requiring/ PPE or some kind of dress code, since this is /banning/ PPE on the job. And a face-mask when you're handling food seems pretty fucking normal, sick or otherwise.
