Let's save the union bashing for another day and realize who is really to blame here.

Yup, I think senior management could stand to read a book about real leadership. In fact, I have one they can borrow.

You misunderstood the point of my post. Our union doesn't have the power to enact the changes needed on their own. The union is willing and able to engage the company on the issues we need addressed, but no one at the company will discuss this with them.

It’s a standoff. If the company caves and has to pay us to not work for our safety, they lose. If we as a pilot group collectively decide to not work to protect ourselves and family, they win.
ALPA or our MEC should release a press statement informing the public that the pilots of their routes on the specific aircraft Envoy flies don’t get the same health protections they the big jets get. It’s the truth but once again I fear our MEC is terrified of any repercussions and will just send out nice emails saying how mad they are and actually do nothing.

I mean if you don't come into contact with immunocompromised/elderly folks regularly and you don't have much else that needs tending to in the near future why not just go to work and get tested at the end of each trip (assuming you can find a free or cheap location near home). Once you get sick (and you will), take the two weeks paid leave and play Xbox. Maybe by the end of the two weeks enough damage will have been done that we get some action.
I can't believe Envoy's response here is "go to work until you get sick, peasants".

Sorry I was mostly being facetious. It's just an awful situation and Envoy doesn't even want to act like they have our best interests on their radar.
