Mm. You’re describing someone very dear to me, because of whom I wear an n95 mask every day.
People you describe fight an uphill battle, and I don’t see that changing anytime soon. They can ask for accommodations, but a lot of people won’t meet them. Meetings can be held digitally, of course, and one can advocate for oneself digitally as well. In time they can hope to win allies, and with them also get advocates that are willing to help amplify their voice.
I’m sorry, but I don’t have any good solutions. The world is neither kind or fair, the best we can hope for is to build communities with people that empathise and see us.
I’m also glad you reached the point I wanted to make, that people like me become extremely cynical when unions are brought up as a solution because even with digital access we’re still seen as second class members. they’re not gonna invest as many resources in the digital meetings because there’s no incentive to
I think it’d be hard not to get cynical when in such a situation. It’s why it’s so important to amplify the voices of marginalised people and bring them into the fold, they have needs as a society we need to see to them. It really shouldn’t be that hard. Unfortunately a lot of people don’t realise that being healthy and able-bodied is a temporary state, and at some point or other we’re all going to need some form of support.

We all benefit from ensuring it’s there.
