Sorry to hear about your father's struggles made worse by ignorant SJWs. Having worked with employers in the past over OSHA issues I know the struggles they face - they are damned if they do, and damned if they don't. Small and medium sized business owners in particular are extremely vulnerable. They are taken advantage of by so called officials that haven't got a clue about what the laws actually are and what is required compliance for business owners versus what is in the realm of guidelines that are voluntary - but guidelines that business owners are highly pressured into implementing because they do not understand the nuisances in the terminology. In addition, business owners try to hire entities to help navigate these muddy waters only to be taken advantage of by these entities that they hired for help. I have had cases where businesses have spent thousands of dollars to bring their businesses into compliance only to find out they were not. One company in particular had their written policies taken from another state and they had no idea. They then had to bring themselves into compliance according to the state they were in. Shameful.

I think the best thing at this point is for employees to pass on information to their employers about where they stand legally. The prospect of being sued is usually enough to make them change a policy. But, like your father, it is a hard place for business owners to be in right now. They just don't know what to do. And that too I am afraid, is also part of the plan to destroy small business in this country. Good luck to you and him.
