Q: can my job write me up for refusing to drive another employee around in my personal car during Covid 19?
I work for a newspaper company as warehouse employee when routes are down from no carrier we are asked to deliver. Our manager now are trying to write us up for refusing to drive around our carrier (contractors) on their routes during Covid 19. Using our personal vehicles. Are they allow to write us up for that?
A:
They shouldn't but you will want to contact the human relations commission and ask them about such things. At a minimum they should provide the "passengers" with masks and gloves which they should wear on entering the car and being in it.
Instead the company should pay for a cab or lyft or uber for these people.
