I am dealing with this exact thing, fortunately I am in a position where they cannot fire me, but they can stop me from coming to work, at which point I would have to work from home. I do not want to do this as I enjoy going to lab.
They "can" force this, but the terminology you want to use is "sincerely held religious or non-theistic beliefs held with the conviction of traditional religious beliefs as defined by Title VII of the Civil Rights Act and Department of Labor."
I am arguing that, I do not appose the test and if I received a positive test I would do everything in my power to inform everyone I put at risk. However, I have a moral objection to handing the power over ones medical data and autonomy to an entity which has power over my livelihood. I think they have removed me from the random employee testing pool.
Spez: What they are required to do is at least try to find a "reasonable accommodation." For which you could offer to "monitor your health and take measures if you are sick to inform people for which you might have put at risk."
