Got news for ya...It was in our hands for more than ten years. we saw this coming. Cal-OSHA regs and all and guess what....all we did was get worse and worse...now it is no longer in our hands even on the unlikely chance it fails its gonna win in appeal....courts rely on fact and heres a little fact for ya...You may not like it but its backed up by the health Dept and who do you think a judge is going to believe the health Dept or Diane Dukes magic 8 ball?
"Measure B is the result of a long history of inadequate workplace protection within this industry. This is a legal industry and we feel with legality comes responsibility; ultimately this boils down to a question of corporate citizenship. The hazardous exposures performs face on the job are well document and reported by labs and clinics to the county department of public health (as required by state law). Therefore, we have a very good understanding of the overall disease burden performers carry and how this compares to the population at-large.
When compared to the general community the cumulative incidence for gonorrhea and chlamydia is as high as 64 and 34 times respectively. When compared to sexually active adults between 18 and 24 (a group that traditionally shows high disease burden), the gonorrhea and chlamydia rates for performers are 8.5 and 16 times higher.
Note these rates demonstrate orders of magnitude that are unacceptable from a public health perspective."
