I wonder when wrongful termination suits start to inundate the system.
There are actually very few wrongful terminations issues because there are usually contracts in place as guidelines to determine if there are actual existing circumstances that breached the conditions of the agreements. Most employment agreements lies with the descretion of the employer.

Now this is a problem.
I'm a free market person, but you're wrong on businesses being able to enact requirements after terms of employment are agreed upon.

Especially when they are bending to an unlawful mandate(which was actually never signed and was just a press release)

I wasn’t referencing already agreed terms. I am addressing new cirmstances that arise after employment has begun. This would be the circumstance with the Covid issues. If there were no terms in place regarding Covid and a company made rules that all would be affected this wouldn’t address what yor are referencing. The Covid mandates are virtually all new after employment issues.

This is the government exerting pressure on private companies to do this tho

Then they need to give severance packages since they (as the employer) didn't hold up to their end of the employment agreement.

I would encourage folks that are mandated by their employer to stand up.

Those that are owners/CEOs are welcome to make mandates. I don't want that right taken away even though they are wrong.

I agree it is but my thoughts are that it is better for the time being for the employers to mandate the rules rather than have the government to make the changes. That could set a president for them to mandate wherever and whenever they willed. That’s scary.

Maybe they should but I doubt they are bound to a program like this for all personell. I am pretty sure if they have RIF policies they will do accordingly but it probably won’t happen if employees are not covered by an existing policy.

You as an employer can tell even the circumstance you outlined they then are faced with a determination of complying or not complying. They make the determination whether they will comply or leave. Their rights are not violated
Well gender is a protected class so you'd have an issue there.

Personally I agree with you and my sentiments lie with individual choice but the strategy is shaping up toward the government trying to be the determiner of making the decisions. It’s a sacrifice that is falling on the employer to initiate and I prefer it stay there rather than a command from the government. It’s almost a travesty but the way things are divided the only solution that will come is government influence will dictate the outcome. I don’t understand why so many are against being vaccinated since it is the best solution available to protect against the virus but that position will probably dictate the government forcing the issue.

Monday the 18th there’s a protest against mandated vaccines, at least here where we live, we’re keeping our kids home from school. The mandate is not ok with a lot of parents.

Without fear I’m asking customers if their kids are going to school that day, I’ve yet to get someone that has told me their kid will be in attendance.

I heard in one day 27,000 children were pulled from Los Angeles county schools, that was a week or so ago.

Did any of you catch Bill Maher on Kimmel? Could have been last week, maybe it’s older.

He’s a true prick, but in some instances he’ll say some shit that makes sense.

Kimmel was going on about covid and Maher asked him if he’d seen the poll that The New York Times did. It asked Republicans and Democrats what percentage of people need to go to the ICU if they get covid.

Democrats, no surprise considering how stupid they are, thought that over 50% of covid positive people have to go to the hospital.

His point was that the media has soscared the shit out of their viewers that they think they have to go to the hospital if they get covid. That’s what’s overwhelming the emergency rooms, not covid itself.

It’s been one big scare campaign and the dolts who lap up their lies on a nightly basis have helped manufacture a crisis that didn’t need to be.

BTW, the number is between 1% and 5%, but democrats think it’s 10-50 times more than what it really is.

Will Anderson Cooper or Don Lemon have to answer for their fear porn? Nope.
