Going into the coke ovens at dofasco they give everyone a new respirator every day (rubber ones with filters, not n95 paper ones) and most people just carry them and don't wear them. I got called names for wearing mine when I was an apprentice.
As long as they can’t sue their employer for the working conditions…
But seriously, that’s crazy. Since when do workers not have to do what their manager says (on-topic to the job, of course, not inappropriate “extra-curricular” requests, for example)?
