Workers Can Refuse to Do Work that Harms the Environment
You work for a doctor and your work includes cleaning up and throwing away waste. The doctor always tells you to throw the medical waste in a nearby rubbish dump. You feel this is wrong and one day you tell the doctor why you think it is wrong. The doctor threatens to dismiss you.
What Can You Do?
You can tell the doctor that NEMA says you cannot be dismissed for refusing to do this.
