We knew this was coming. Out of about 50 guys, half got the jab and half of us were against it. Instead of laying off all of us at the same time, they decided to start with the 3 of us that adamantly said no! The others said they would look into it, which bought them some time I guess. There was also an option to apply for religious or medical exemptions. But then you’d have to wear a mask at all times and get tested weekly. I’ll never put a mask on again unless it’s needed from actual harm. And I’m proud to say I never or ever will get tested for a cold. It’s unfortunate, I made good money there and still have a mortgage and other bills to take care of. I think I’m gonna have to leave NY. I realize the states I’d like to go to are probably non union states so I’m not sure what to do. Could use some suggestions frens.

I worked construction for years but was only minimally exposed to union sites.
In that experience, I was doing my normal workflow when someone saw my half-day work and came to complain that I was doing too much too quickly, "if you keep up like that you're going to work us all out of a job." After a back and forth, what I was doing in half a day was 'supposed' to be work for 1 person to last 2 days.
