If you aren't willing to risk a minimal fine to defend your rights, you can't claim to be ready for the real fight that is coming.
This is an escalation process. We don't just go from silent majority to 1776. We must progress through the steps and inspire the will to fight in those around us before they will wake up.
Might I suggest a fund created to help pay fines for violations?
Edit: to be clear, I'm not anti-mask. I'm anti-mandate. If you are symptomatic then you should be wearing a mask to prevent transmission.
Same. It's been company policy for about two months now to wear a mask on site.
People at work are getting pretty sick (heh) of the company's mandatory mask order, and quite a few of us were starting to become more lax in wearing them. But, the upper management just had a meeting and decided to double-down on the order, and now they're hounding us more often to make sure we're wearing them "properly". It doesn't help that the CEO is a bit of a health freak and a germphobe in the first place, which I think further fueled the establishment of the policy.
I just find the whole thing half-assed and ill-advised; masks have a purpose and can be effective and curbing spread when properly utilized, but forcing employees to wear the same one all day can compromise health more than it helps to stop viral spread.
Especially since we're either given only one disposable, non-N95 mask per day, or we can use our own, which runs the gamut from reusable cloth masks that people rarely wash, to just covering your face with a bandana like a train robber.
