Even though there is a lot of talk about ‘living with the virus’ and backtracking (ass covering) on lockdowns, a lot of companies still haven’t got the memo.

Suddenly, employment and discrimination laws don’t exist. Here is an ever-growing list of companies that are discriminating against their employees. They need boycotting until they change their policies.

Comment with any others (with a link) below and I’ll add them to the list.
