Employees who decline genetic testing could face penalties under proposed bill
I&#x27;m sorry to all Americans who may read this and get ruffled, but what the actual fuck is wrong with your political landscape and attitudes towards workers rights? Why don&#x27;t you have unions? Why do Americans seem to hate unions? Why don&#x27;t you have an active political party representing workers? Why don&#x27;t you have an active movement to prevent your employer from becoming overseer of your entire life? All I see day in and day out from America is employers and capitalists finding another way to fuck the workers and there is not one iota of widespread organised resistance to this (or any of your other disgusting work legislation like &quot;at will employment&quot; or your complete desire to shoot yourselves in the foot with univ.healthcare) at all.<p>Seriously what is the problem with your country that you&#x27;ve managed to manoeuvre yourselves as employees into a position where you are totally unable to counter the repeated and ceaseless violation of your ability to live with some sort of security and expectation of privacy against your employer. Your country is amazing, your people are lovely. But your politics and attitudes towards work, workers and their rights is abhorrent and disgusting.<p>The thought of legislation like this arising in my country (Australia), where your employer is given free range to look into your genetic privacy is just unfathomable to me, and if it did happen there would be widespread protests organised by unions and political parties representing workers rights. Truly the attitude of seemingly the majority of Americans towards themselves and workers rights is gross, and frankly quite sad. You will only ever stop these sorts of gross violations of workers rights with even bargaining power between employee and employer, and there is only one way to achieve that (workers unionising)
