> If a worker gets sick, they could sue for damages,
Maybe I’m misreading it, but from the article, comments here, and linked alternative readings (as well as very limited personal experience), the issue could be that the workers themselves are actively not participating in wearing PPE. I know this sounds like blaming the victim, but if that is truly what’s happening (and I’d appreciate information explaining the opposite), why should the workers get to sue someone else? Is the PPE not effective enough?
Or are you suggesting that allowing the employee to sue would create incentives for the employers to actually enforce the workers use PPE?
