The point is that easily preventable exposure to harmful chemicals should not be a condition of employment. It's not a matter of being a baby (not sure why people who are concerned about workplace toxic chemical exposures are babies). This assumes that it is easy to just go get another job, which isn't true at all.
It also ignores the fact (or it's maybe just unsympathetic) that if this "if you don't like it, go work somewhere else, baby" attitude were general policy, occupational injuries and deaths would likely shoot towards industrial revolution levels (but hey, at least business people wouldn't be unduly burdened by their employees' selfish, and apparently childish, desire to live long healthy lives).
