"2/28/20 Boss came to work sick, 3/2-3/4/20 she came in sick, foreman sent her home each day. On 3/23/20 my foreman came in sick, my boss purchased him thermometer. Governor ordered "stay home" order. I text Boss about concern of having people come in sick. She said to return to work 4/9/20 in regards to unemployment. 4/1/20 she text me stating her bronchitis came back. Her and the foreman both continue to come in sick. She called me 4/6/20 from work. She is asking I do nonessential work such as, floor grinders. I live with 90 year old grandparents and fear for our health, now she is retaliating by threatening my unemployment if I dont return 4/9/20. And sent email trying to claim sickness never happened. I have text proof. Not refusing work, just don't want illness exposure. Please let me know if this business is essential and how to proceed." - Daniel Hampton
