Syndicat is saying the WiFi is damaging our health in the workshop (more in comments)

  1. We are currently in the heaviest inflation known since World War 2, people can’t pay their bills, people are in debts because they can’t pay their food.

    If there was a time to act in on this it should be now!

    But nope, WiFi DaMaGeS OuR HeAlTh. This is borderline pseudoscience.

    If they go through with this. I will put in a notion to make the mobile phone illegal at work. Or at least put it on airplane mode. But the phone next to your genitals every day does more damage then WiFi.

    I’ll go even further! I’ll make electricity dangerous! (I work in a train depot). Around a conductor, there is a magnetic field. MaGnEtIC WaVeS aRe DaNgErOuS!!!!! Electricity will kills us because of all the magnetic waves, we shouldn’t use it anymore.

    Loonatics! Fight stupidity with stupidity

  2. Why tho? Did they get complaints? Why are they acting upon WiFi signals? Is there some ‘electrosensitive’ lunatic head of the union there?

  3. Title of the paper says it’s about Wifi, but the second page is an anti 5G rant.

    They’re not making a lot of sense…

    Ask your union to stop getting their sources from Facebook.

  4. Ah yes, classic! We’ve had someone complain about WiFi after migrating the entire company to wireless. He demanded we would remove the access point right above his desk. Instead we disabled the small LED light from the Access Point.

    The guy thought the AP was turned off all the time.

  5. WHO doesn’t recognize electromagnetic hypersensitivity, though… They do admit that some people link their symptoms to EM fields, not that there is indeed a link.

    Not to say those people dont suffer from real symptoms, they’re just not caused by wifi.

  6. So what you’re saying is that there are no actual complaints at your place of employment but the union needs to stay relevant?

  7. Your syndicate is run by tin foil hat wearing quackpots. I hope your workplace is better than that, and that they don’t make people believe their bullshit

  8. Ban phones on site since they are bad, then watch syndicates going nuts about personal liberties

  9. There’s little denying that being online 24/7 is driving us all nuts so at some level this is not wrong.

  10. WiFi is not harmful to mammals/birds/fish etc.

    But it has been proven that WiFi’s EMF waves are harmful to plants.. so maybe they are protecting the plants in the workspace? man i don’t know.. If a small plant is exposed to direct WiFi over the duration of 1 year, it grows about 20% less than if it weren’t exposed to those waves.

  11. If you work in a workshop, there’re probably a few heavy machinery using high voltages, those will have electro-magnetic emissions way way above anything wi-fi and/or 5G can emit.

  12. We have:

    – Super processed foods
    – Water with microplastics
    – Vegetables and fruit that are coated in pesticides

    Cause of health problems:

    – 3Ghz microwaves.

    Well I gotta give it to them they associate microwave with the microwave machine that warmed up their waffle quite vigorously. But that’s just a plain oversimplification. The radiation of such machine only causes water to vibrate and in return heat up. It also has to be noted that this kind of machine has to be carefully tuned to a certain molecule and if something is off just slightly the material won’t absorb the energy efficiency.

    Now going back to microwaves used in general wireless communication. It is absolutly laughable how low energy they are. They also aren’t tuned to make certain molecules absorb them, because if that was the case it would severely limit their range. The whole point of them is to pass through matter uninterrupted and do not lose energy. This is also why they are magnitudes lower energy than visible light.

    I actually know a person who is very passionately against 5G, but also loves baking on the beach. I once pointed out the irony any she, then went full mind control waves on me. I gave up, because she was right. I mean those wave carry the internet, the best mind control tool humanity ever has had.

  13. Feel free to say my flaw in my reasoning, but arent sunrays.. or the energy that the sun shines on earth, not multiple g’ above 5g?

    Its something i saw about 5g debunking . But is that the case?

  14. Wait, are they talking about people with so called [electromagnetic hyper sensitivity](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromagnetic_hypersensitivity) whit their “electro sensibles”?

    That claimed condition that has no real scientific basis? That condition that is probably a mental one and not a physical?

    Damn who gives these idiots any position of power? I would be looking into filing a complaint with whatever organisation is appropriate because these people are wasting a lot of time and money at others expense with this bullshit.

  15. I’ve seen people claim this standing in front of an old school TV or standing underneath halogen bulbs that create far more powerful electro magnetic fields. Yet somehow the issue is wifi and phones 🤦

  16. Ik vraag me af of die mensen beseffen dat in elke muur als er elektriciteit in een huis is er electromagnistische straling afgegeven word? Constant?

    ​

    Geen verrassing dat dit van vakbonden komt; worden debieler met de dag.

  17. If this is the most important problem at your workplace, then it must be pretty great 🙂

  18. What union is that? Nothing makes my blood boil more that those fucking idiots claiming they are sensible to electromagnetism.

  19. They use the WHO to support their arguments but the WHO themselves said that they cannot scientifically link EHS to electromagnetic waves and that [EHS is not a medical diagnosis](https://www.who.int/teams/environment-climate-change-and-health/radiation-and-health/non-ionizing/electromagnetic-hypersensitivity)

    Kurzgezagt did a great [video](https://youtu.be/FfgT6zx4k3Q) on the subject and if you like the more “technical part” you can see ElectroBOOM [video](https://youtu.be/i4pxw4tYeCU) on the subject !

  20. “Pas de consensus scientifique. Pourtant, officiellement, l’électro-sensibilité n’est toujours pas reconnue comme une maladie à part entière.
    Dans son étude publiée en 2005 sur le sujet, l’OMS reconnaissait
    l’existence des symptômes, mais ne prouvait pas le lien de causalité
    avec la présence d’ondes.”

  21. Soon they will ask to stop magnetic waves from earth..
    What a BS paper with pseudoscience mixing 5G waves and WiFi waves..
    This is utterly ridiculous.

  22. I never thought WiFi could affect the life around it. I did for a little while put a delicate orchid right against my WiFi router and it almost died , as long as you are not a delicate orchid, I think you will be ok.

  23. Ik that em waves around you are heating your body like a microwave oven and the limit is at 1°c if i remember well and you know its not good having a bad body temperature

  24. Can’t you escalate this to national level of this union? I’m not a union fan, but I can’t imagine this wappie bullshit being tolerated by them. They have a moral responsibility to intervine with this misinformation.

  25. The paper take a lot of shortcut of reasoning and it doesn’t make any sense.

    Plus we never found any proof of electrosensibility being something else than psychological. (Their pain is real, but we still don’t know what cause it).

  26. Awesome. Can I have their contact Information? I have some aluminium foil hats I think they might be interested in purchasing xD

  27. Maybe they should post rants about whatever caused their idiocy instead, seems like a much more pressing matter to me.

  28. the director of my old high school claimed he could “feel” when phones werent on airplane mode in classrooms because he could feel the telephone waves or something. but apparently all the wifi connections from neighbouring buildings didn’t bother him????
