Health care workers fired over vaccine mandate awarded $10 million in settlement

[Foolardi]

VICTORY for all Americans is coming!

Illinois health care workers who were fired or otherwise impacted by their hospitals' COVID-19 vaccine mandate will receive a $10 million settlement after filing a lawsuit challenging the rule.

"Let this case be a warning to employers that violated Title VII," Mat Staver, founder and chairman of Liberty Counsel, the group behind the lawsuit, told the Washington Examiner. "It is especially significant and gratifying that this first classwide COVID settlement protects healthcare workers."

The case centers around workers at NorthShore University HealthSystem, who filed a lawsuit in October 2021 claiming their employer illegally refused to grant any religious exemptions to a COVID-19 vaccine mandate.

The settlement approved in the Illinois Northern District Court will result in 473 employees of the system becoming eligible for compensation for being denied a religious exemption to the vaccine mandate, with any of those fired as a result of the rules being eligible for $25,000. The 13 plaintiffs involved in the suit will be eligible for an additional $20,000, while those who complied with the mandate to keep their jobs despite having religious objections will be eligible for $3,000.

Shore beats somethin' like a free dinner pass to some half-ass
Steak joint like a Ponderosa.All things in baby steps now.
Since this Government under Biden acts more like spoiled
grade schoolers than anyone done thought poss-ee-bow.

 

[Foolardi]

Ah, yes, the "experts". Tell us how vaccinated people can't get Covid, like Joe Biden and the CDC "experts" claimed.

Normal patriotic americans should have had a clue.
Next up is the Lie that Biden won in 2020 Fair & Square.
Biden virtually and technically has Done NOTHING fair & Sqaure
since being Sworn-in.
He bragged about being a Moderate who will Unite the
Country.Biggest Mutha Frickin' Liar in American History.

What about the employers rights?

Nobody is owed a job, nobody has a right to a certain paycheck.

Since when does an employer have a right to hire and fire at
will.This ain't the 1930's.
There are all kinds of workplace rules & guidelines.
Like OSHA,for one.Discrimination laws.Under the Equal Employment
Opportunity Commision.Or the Family and Medical leave act.

 

[Foolardi]

So you are just screaming at the clouds. Gotcha

What the hell is that supposed to mean.
Sounds like You're the one who needs a good head scrubbing.
Like how Men in the Old West who took maybe one bath an
entire summer.They'd suds-up real good and use a long brush
for their back.
Start singin' and act like they in heaven.
Er somethin' close.

 

[LAUGHatLEFTISTS]

As you sit by cheering this on, remember Polio is back. Good going.

The leftist import polio and blame republicans. Shocking.

 

[LAUGHatLEFTISTS]

When infection from your body effects my body, no it’s not your choice nitwit.

Using your logic, that means if I feel you are to close to me or my family with your infected ass. I have every right to shoot you from a safe distance, and then set your infected carcas on fire to sterilize the area.

Right, Mr. my choice?

Keep your body indoors. Problem solved.

 

[Foolardi]

Keep your body indoors. Problem solved.

Funny how this kinda mindset woiks { Curly Howard }.
Todays Left is all about lecturing and demanding and
insisting stuff.Then when caught breaking their own rules they just
reinvent another rule.Like no biggie.
Like a game of Simple Simon says.
Simon says ... think like Biden.
And before ya know it ... Simon takes off for summer vacation.
With the Kitchen sink.

I feel like this sets a horrible precedent. There should never be a "religious exemption," for healthcare workers not to be fully vaccinated. Hospitals are also private entities, they set the rules for employment.

 

[RoshawnMarkwees]

No
A private business can't institute a "law" that if you are late they can kill you.
Why would that not be legal?
Same reason this was wrong

But this so-called vaccination impacted no one but the person who got the shot. It did not prevent transmission so mandating the shot was illegal.

 

[San Souci]

If its a private hospital, they should be able to institute whatever laws they want.

Doesn't prevent a Lawsuit. Look at the shops who got sued for not serving Fags. The Branch COVIDIANS need to be sued.

 

[San Souci]

But this so-called vaccination impacted no one but the person who got the shot. It did not prevent transmission so mandating the shot was illegal.

It is called an "Unfair Labor Practice".

What a load of voluminous bull.So then Hospitals don't
take-in the general pubic.Since they are Private.
NO Buckwheats that would be Country Clubs.
I supposed in yet conflated world the Little Sisters of the
Poor were totally in the wrong to file their Lawsuit.
Over the Obama-era contraception mandate.Which involved
Hospitals where the Religious order { Little Sisters of the Poor }
helped aid the sick and dying.
It took 9 years but eventually in 2020 The Supreme court
decided the Little Sisters of the Poor in a 7-2 decision siding with
the religious order.Thanks in no small measure to President Trump
in 2017 where his Adm. granted a religious and moral exception
to the Sisters for the Obama { ACA } mandate and opposing groups.
The Great Conservative Justice Clarence Thomas wrote :
" For over 150 years,the Little Sisters have engaged in faithful
service and sacrifice.motivated by a religious calling to surrender
all for the sake of their brother. "

 

[Foolardi]

It is called an "Unfair Labor Practice".

Which goes hand-in-glove with Todays New Democrats as The
Most Unfair Political Party in Americas History.
Not even close.So obvious even Fortune Cookies are
embarrased.

Running a business is expensive. It's even more expensive if you're stupid.

My recommendation for you and anyone who supports this decision, be my guest and visit your local church the next time you're dying of a heart attack and you need treatment.

I agree, forcing an short trial vaccine on employees is incredibly stupid and costly

 

[WEATHER53]

And the same 4/5of us told all you forced vax dipshits in 2020 that mandates or be fired was illegal and would ultimately be adjudicated as such.
Welcome to adjudication lying lib loons

 

[Harpy Eagle]

And tge sane 4/4 of us told all you forced vax dipshits that mandates or be fired was illegal and would ultimately be adjudicated as such.
Welcome to adjudication lying lib loons

The mandate was not a problem, it was the "we will not consider any religious exemptions at all" that was the problem.

You really should read thing before commenting on them, then you would not always look like a fucking moron
