First US class action settlement involving a COVID shot mandate should be a wake-up call to every employer that did not accommodate or exempt employees who opposed the COVID shots for religious reasons. NorthShore University HealthSystem will pay more than $10.3 million for unlawfully discriminating against more than 500 current and former health care workers and for denying religious exemptions from the COVID shot mandate.
By Liberty Counsel: There is no pause button on the federal employment law under Title
VII. Employees do not lose their right to reasonable accommodation for
their religious beliefs simply because an employer or even the federal
government pushes a vaccine mandate under the guise of a pandemic. It is
past time for employment law attorneys to stop sitting on the
sidelines. They need to help people obtain justice.
