A good majority of those in the construction industry take transit. My wife who is being forced at this point to continue working needs to take transit. So why is the construction industry one of the few needing to "keep the work spinning". I feel for the nurses and doctors. Also those working what i'm sure is hell like grocery stores.
what do you do? are you working from home? doing your part to keep on spinning?
and don't quote the labour code to me and my right to refuse.
as for precautions, you even stepped foot on a site before??? "ok guys, you just touched something dirty, better go wash your hands" what every 2 mins? get real
that sucks man, what does she do? nurse? fortunately my wife hasn't had to increase hours or anything yet but talking to her a little while ago she's thinking she may need to work late

I think you took my comment too personally. But really, emotion is clearly at state, and it’s hard to ignore those emotions when you are feeling scared. I’m sorry if paraphrasing the CLC to you brought up even more emotion. Not sure why that would irritate you. It’s your right not to go if it is indeed a hazard? The reason I quoted it is because I’m pretty familiar with it. Having once held the position of Safety Chair for my employee group. I apologize if you found it offensive, or your interpretation of it. If you really think rationally about your situation, is it rational? Only you can answer that, I don’t know what you do. I was just laying out your legal rights.
As for your question regarding me? My industry is one of the few exceptions where I don’t even have a 14 day isolation period. My wife is also in one of these positions in a completely different industry. So yes. We are both working, and thus far not from home. Her hours are doubled, mine are slow. It is what it is.
