You will likely not be able to get unemployment.
The way they are setting this up is to wear you down and out. keep you fighting something that you will not conquer alone. You are stoking a steam engine that isn't even on the tracks anymore.
You will cause a lot more trouble for them by quitting, as soon as they mention a mandate. You will set an example for others to follow.
You may be able to kill a beast after it swallows you, but you are already swallowed. Maybe don't get swallowed?
This keeps the doctors, lawyers and corporations that bowed down and tried to sell you down the river for pennies in business. SHUT THEM DOWN FOR GOOD!
Meanwhile, all that unemployment just adds to the national debt. It isn't free. It cost the government money to use it, print it, move it. IT ISN'T EVEN REAL MONEY! but they will get the value of it from your labor.
Eyore voice:
Whoa is meeeeeee. Guess i'll go ahead and quit. No one can win. Lawsuits don't matter. Guess I'll just goooo a waaaaaay.
Why would you try to convince someone who has just been told that they have to do something against their will to stay? Because they might be able to make some money out of it? You are a lawyer, no way around it.
It is a trap.
You have been warned, I have done all that I can. You can shut down the enemy now, easily, or you can continue to suckle at it's tit. Your call.
I think that the blanket-ness of your response is reckless. If EVERYONE were to do that then that is saying "yes employers have the right to your medical info" If one had the financial and personal backing to sue employers and get a class act going to take to courts then that is much better. If I worked at mickey ds and they said that no, just quit. But this must be fought in courts as money and penalty are the only things that influence companies.
Shutting their business down will do far more than a lawyer can hope.
Corporations are situated in such a way that NO PERSON is liable, the Corporation is (it is considered a person in court) They have insurance for such things. You are just encouraging the bureaucracy and that serves to make them all money. If one were able to get a lawsuit through it wouldn't affect anyone in the corporation, they will be allowed to offer a waiver that will essentially be a gag order, enforceable because you will consent. It is how these class actions work. If you sign on to one then you accept the outcome of the whole and forfeit your right to sue individually. If they do not win, do not collect more money than it costs them to pursue or settle out of court then all of that will be for nothing. I have been in a couple. The companies get a slap on the wrist and it is business as usual.
Did you know that walmart was found guilty of cutting employees hours? Before the end of the week they would go to your time card and shave a few minutes off here and there. They got caught and had to settle out of court. Few signed on because they were afraid of clap back from walmart later. I got a nice chuck of cash for the time they took from me ($700 for .38 hours) but NO ONE GOT IN TROUBLE!!! Walmart kept doing as they do and getting worse by the day. The settlement that I entered into has that gag order on me, I am not supposed to talk about it and I am not allowed to go after Walmart for anything.
Meanwhile, you can show them what is up by refusing to work for someone that would attempt this. It isn't going to be easy or fast, but it is literally the only way to get at them at this point.
It is in no way saying anything of the sort of what you suggest, if anything it allows you to get out before they try to mandate that they have access to your medical records anyway.
