"Since you work in food production, the company has a right to know if you've had the COVID vaccine."

Lied and said yes.

Then if you get caught, you say that you misunderstood and thought she was asking about a covid positive test. That's your one get out of jail free.

That’s fucked up

I and many others are in the exact same boat.

I suggest don't lie.

If enough people don't lie, I suspect our numbers are much stronger than they want to admit.

when you lie or get fake vax cards you are making it so much harder for those who have decided to put a line in the sand.

Unprincipled people are the reason evil thrives.

It will be mandated by some companies. A better question is if you refuse and are fired; will you get unemployment or be on the streets?

If they think they have a right to know just give them your doctors name and tell them to ask him.

See if he violates hipaa

Handed out questionnaires at my work. 95% of us wadded them up and threw them in the trash. Corporate was pissed, but didnt do shit.

Lie. If it comes up later say you identify as a vaccinated individual. Lefties should understand that.

The reason they gave you for doing it is bullshit. They are taking a tally and attaching status to each employee’s file. Seems to me if they now have a tally and take some kind of action against you for nearly anything in the future - it could be considered discrimination which is why they really shouldn’t violate HIPPA as they have

I would've told him I was going to call on a civil rights attorney, because your civil rights, by law, were indeed challenged.

I'm retired, but that's what youse guyses have got to do. They're presenting themselves as the last word, and they are not that. What they're doing is being bullies, the asshats, and they all need to be taken to court.

youre a fucking pussy

shouldve told your boss to go fuck himself, shouldve told the nurse to go fuck themselves
shouldve let them fire you, you shouldve collected unemployment while suing the cocksuckers

instead, youre a total gay

You have to decide which you value more. Your job or your morals.

Fortunately, I'm self employed. I'm sure my time will come when I go to buy groceries one day. But I see job postings everywhere. I doubt you'll be out of a job for long.

In the beginning of a change, the patriot is a scarce man, and brave, and hated and scorned. When his cause succeeds, the timid join him, for then it costs nothing to be a patriot. Mark Twain

Who are you going to be?

A tally was definitely being taken. A printout of all employee names was on the nurse's desk, with some names highlighted yellow.

But I don't think a discrimination claim based on vaccination status is a thing. Or if it is, I've never heard of it.

A possibility that I'm mulling over in my head is: at least now with the tally, if they ever want to mandate the COVID vaccine, they don't have to explicitly say so. They now know who they need to get rid of, based on vaccination status. And who to hire, based on vaccination status. It will probably become a standard question on the job application, if it isn't already.

what is it's a case of they've figured out the vaxxed are contaminating the food and they're thinking about having to let them go for now until further investigation?

how would you fell then OP?? if it turned out the vaxxinated are super shedders and any food they touch will infect the person that eats it?

would you recommend the employer knows who's been vaxxed or not then?

<<<THIS>>>

Unless people start to do this, these bullies will continue and escalate so YES! THIS!

Never tell off your boss.

I’m not a lawyer but ifir a similar issue a while back i “successfully” used the following general strategy.

Next time politely ask that your boss send you a formal written notice of the requirement concerning such.
Then formally write HR or some internal legal department inquiring if this is their policy and if participation is mandatory, kindly suggest that they may be taking a legal risk in pursuing such information from “others” in the Office that don’t care for the company as much as you do.
If they continue to push the issue give them your doctors/hospital contact information; make sure you contact your doctor notifying him/her NOT to divulge your information.

If they still continue to make an issue place on your desk a sealed large envelope with the answer and with the outside of the envelope clearly marked as private protected medical information concerning your vaccination status and current medical health. Inside have your FULL vaccination and other private medical records.

Do Not open the letter for them, make it clear to your coworkers that you don’t give anyone permission, write HR and/or legal department that only those with written permission and/or explicitly allowed by law may open your medical records.

Be prepared to sue.
If they open it, they will have likely violated the law even in excess of whatever covid “rules” are being paraded as law as those rules won’t apply to the other medical records.

If they fire you for not divulging the information, you will have records and witnesses that you legally made readily available your medical records and were willing to provide said records to anyone the law required you to provide them to.

If they fire you for presumably other grounds, you will have some recourse to show that the actual reason was pertaining to non-work performance issues.

In the meantime, be the absolute best employee you can be and document everything so you will have proof thereof. Follow up on conversations from your boss or higher ups about the vaccine politely but succinctly stating in writing what you understood their position to be and asking for further clarification. Be prepared for them to try to answer in person and to avoid written records; if so, keep politely asking about their position and asking for a written explanation or confirmation as the vocalized conversations are inconsistent and/or incomplete and/or contradictory to what others have told you.

I should clarify that for me, “successful” still meant being fired, but did ultimately result in substantial monetary compensation.
Your results may vary.

You should have asked what it had to do with food production, and if people shouldn’t be wearing masks anyways because it’s “food production”.

:this1:

Taco bell in my area closes at 4:00pm because they can't find enough workers. A bunch of pizza places stopped doing deliveries because there's not a driver.

In short, stick with your answer. If they don't like it, oh well..
