[0] except for protected classes, there are specific carve outs for that.
A protection racket is enforced through the use of physical violence. Terrible analogy.
No, it is not forced. It is a choice.
> For example consider this: “There are other jobs so quit complaining when we racially discriminate against you.”
Race is a protected class. Vaccination status is not unless you have a document medical reason.
Yes, but they aren't required to get the vaccine against their will. They have the choice to quit. That's what makes it a choice. If they had no choice to quit, then you would be correct.
> In this case the choice is be fired or take the vaccine.
Exactly.
> They obviously don't want to be fired, so they are being forced to take the vaccine.
Some choices are hard. That's life. As you wrote in the previous sentence, it is a choice.
> Yes, it isn't physical force, but it is forced none the less
No more forced than any other condition of employment.
Heads: I win, Tails: you lose is not good faith in the slightest, or even a reasonable facsimile of a choice.
There are tons of domestic trucking jobs.
And they can’t be international truckers anyways because the US won’t let them in without a vaccine.
You aren't forced, there are a lot of other jobs that don't require you to have sex with the boss.
You ok with this? Don't have an abortion or you will be fired. Don't have a kid or you will be fired. It is always a choice right?
Sure, it isn't 'forced' as in, we will tie you up and someone will give you the vaccine, (same as have sex with me or be fired, technically I won't force myself on you) but basically amounts to the same. And taking in account that a) there are vaccine side effects (I had them and know a few others that also did) b) they don't really help with the spread, just reducing the symptoms, it shouldn't be the business deciding on it.
