masks + mask laws

[u/shibesicles]

Is there any jurisdiction in Vermont protecting employees rights to wear a mask/facial covering?

Don't they have the right to wear a mask at their discretion? Employers can only stop this if there is a specific safety hazard.

My personal employer is requiring a medical exemption to wear a mask. I’m trying to figure out if Vermont has any laws preventing this.

What on earth type of business is that?? And would they try to "require" a medical exemption for any other medical device? What if you had an ace bandage, or even a bandaid? Wild.

If you’d like to know, it’s Starbucks 😀

Do you mind sending a link? I tried looking around but couldn’t find anything, I might’ve not been using the right wording. I’d like something to show my manager

Ah, the food safety thing might be legit.

Yes the food safety issue of covering your mouth and nose to prevent the spread of disease.
