A Letter To Employers Mandating Vaccines

[Murrmurr]

Here in my part of PA, hospitals are both OK in this county. Everything is operating as normal. My wife is a friend to a doctor’s wife up the street and she told my wife that her husband, the doctor at the hospital was complaining about not having much to do on the day shift, so he was considering moving to the overnight shift in the ER. We are thankful that we have been so fortunate.

It's pretty much business as usual around here, too - shootings and assaults about the same, but covid numbers are down.

Yup, and the longer that our nation remains so divided on important issues, the more likely that our entire society will begin to slide downhill.

There are people on social media who would like that. It's very sad.

If losing weight was a side effect of the vaccine, that vaccine would be the most popular item in this country!

Sorry, not really trying to make light of it; losing weight for no particular reason is a serious medical symptom. And the doctor's records showed that he lost 20 pounds and followed it up with nothing? I would switch to another doctor.

However you did make light of it which is neither good or bad.. it is what it is. I am not going to give negative energy to negative energy.

I would not want a vaccine to help me loose weight..it will have MAJOR side effects. As I have stated, the vaccine is the only thing I can think of - nothing else in his life has changed. Him and I are a bit concerned..nothing to take lightly. But I get that if it's not your issue or someone you love... you can make light of it.

Are you referring to the number of Supreme Court justices? She has ruled on behalf of the entire Supreme Court.

As the article states:

"The court's newest justice rejected the plea without even asking the university for a response or getting her colleagues to weigh in. Justices often act on their own in such situations when the legal question isn't particularly close. Barrett handles emergency matters from the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 7th Circuit, which includes Indiana."

Murrmurr is correct though.

In right to work states any employee can be fired for any reason.

That's employment "At Will" states, not right to work States.

I have a relative who works at a nearby hospital. They opened a new Covid ward and filled it in two days. That happened about two weeks ago. ICU beds in my state are filled mostly with unvaccinated Covid patients. Virtually no vaccinated people are in the ICU due to Covid.

You beat me to it!

This is true and I know first-hand that the second line is definitely true. My neighbor was fired for insubordination, which covers any and all things. It’s a catch-all reason to get rid of someone.

He went to a lawyer and the lawyer told him that the company was within their right to terminate his employment.

Of course there are exceptions to at will discharge, the problem is soliciting an attorney to take it on a contingency basis. Even if taken to court, the burden of proof still rests with the plaintiff. Then there is the issue of any appeals, etc. Unless the case merits the facts to win big bucks or it is a relative, etc., to get a discount, you are on your own, but there are times the EEOC (if they have jurisdiction over the complaint) will file suit themselves or issue a "Right to sue" letter to the complainant, if applicable.

i worked in the field of employment discrinination. most of the cases that i saw did not have complainants who had legal counsel the vast majority of attorneys'want a goodly sum of money to represent any individual.it's difficult to find someone to represent someone on a pro bon basis.

Not only procedural issues, but a plaintiff must deal with the defendant's lies. I represented myself in a wrongful termination case because I knew how, and in their papers, you would not believe the LIES the defendant told the Company's lawyer when they filed their Answer among other papers. It was not worth it monetarily as far as what was prayed for, but when facts came out and my statements became more believable, they settled. It was basically a hollow victory, but the principle of it drove me to fight.

I only know of 2 cases that the employer basically admitted guilt, but the penalty was so small in one case, and the settled law was on their side in the other, that is, until their state Supreme court fooled them. The employee in question refused to shoot the "Moon" as the others did on their company outing at the River camp, then the harassment started, followed by termination.
