I am a little late responding to this as I just found the discussion. The issue here is personal autonomy. What we wear is different than allowing our employer to break our skin. Even the government generally needs a warrant to break our skin.
Also, the science is just not there to support this as a mandatory action. The risk of TB is still pretty low. Most hospitals and employers require this but few if none will publish their postive results. But they are really really low.
OSHA tried to mandate this but after seeking comments appeared to back off. CDC is not known for its respect of civil rights.
Now in the end, it is a minor pain with a small needle. But where does it end and where does our autonomy begin.
Sometimes it is OK to take a stand, as long as we know the facts and accept the consequences.
