The owner of a firm prefers to have his employees in the office for his own socializing purposes, despite their concerns regarding COVID-19

I work for a real estate investment firm, and it is absolutely not essential for my colleagues nor I to be in the office, but the owner of the company prefers we be there for his own socializing purposes. The office has provided hand sanitizer but otherwise does not enforce the use of masks or physical distancing. We still have plenty of crammed boardroom meetings.

Workers in Canada, subject to applicable health and safety legislation, have a statutory right to refuse work, without reprisal, that they reasonably believe to be unsafe, which may include all or part of the workplace. Your employer is not following the COVID-19 requirements governing all businesses in Ontario regarding the use of masks and physical distancing in the workplace.

You do not have the right to work from home as a matter of your preference, but you do have the right to refuse to work in an unsafe workplace.It sounds as though you are asking if your employer can require you to work in an unsafe workplace. Employers generally have the right to direct how their business operates, including the right to determine where their employees work.

Lies. If they actually did there'd be regulations on the type and quality of mask. It's pandering. Article doesn't say much about studies of masks or what kind of masks. Masks don’t work. Science shows us this. Also real world trials such as covid show us. If they worked we would be seeing surging numbers in areas mandating masks.

China’s postpandemic economic recovery shines light on a growing rich-poor divideReports of rising retail sales suggest Chinese consumers have shaken off coronavirus worry, but the recovery is by no means complete, and spending that has grabbed headlines masks a deeper malaise When will the government of Canada stop allowing these rich communists to buy all the land and real estate in this country? The slumhole of the world right behind the US. Said many times, China is not communist; similar to Russia. Both are hyper capitalistic countries run by strong governments or oligopolies. Communism is a failed system based on material dialecticism of want where there is no value. Without value there is no worthwhile life....
