I'm trying to convince them not to, I'm not sure if it's working,” Katrina, a high school teacher in Texas, told Refinery29 in an interview . “One of our [union] members was talking to me and was saying, ‘I feel like I'm being held hostage. Like I either go to work or I get penalized. And I don't like this feeling of, you have to do this, you could die, but we don't care.’ I've done my best to talk people out of leaving. But, I mean, it's a personal decision.”
