More details to this question:
Latent form of TB means that it is not contagious and I can't infect other people. QUESTION: can my employer force me to be treated if I decline this potentially dangerous treatment?
1 ANSWER
Your employer can't force you to be treated, but it may well be able to fire or suspend you if you decline. I'm not aware of any statute which protects you from adverse employment consequences in this situation (although it is possible that there is such a statute in Minnesota), so your rights depend on your employment contract. What does it say?
