Companies fined for not using condoms

LadyLaw · 09-18-2004

It was clever of California to use their exisiting employment laws, which protect employees from hazardous exposure to known toxins, chemicals, etc., rather than draft a new law specifically targetting the porn industry.

When an adult indutry employee complained about possible exposure to blood-borne pathogens (HIV and Hep.C) without adequate protection, this opened the door for the California Health Department to legitimately investigate and levy hefty fines for violations.

California will argue until the cows come home there is no discrimination against the porn industry, just a health and safety issue handled routinely under exisiting law.
