Was just starting to think about this today...
Of the poalers that are applying for religious exemptions, can you get a head count of non whites within your company that are doing the same? And if so can you follow up on their success rate? Just an idea...
We are all staying quiet. I know 18k asked for exemptions (including me). I only know one other person - we are close and hired a lawyer together, just in case. The company has something like 150k employees.
Thank you for sharing. That is mega!
I am self employed as a handyman and have no idea what it is like for you... God speed.
It should be illegal for an employer to force medical procedures, and there are dozens of good reasons not to get the shot. But the religious exemption is the least likely to be challenged, will be very difficult for an employer to deny, and by far the easiest claim to make. So a lot of people are going that route, even if they have other objections.
That's what I figured. I filed both but figure only the religious one will be approved. I'm sure they can find reasons to argue a medical one. The lawyer said if they deny the religious one for either one of us, he will help us appeal and we assume a lawyer would be enough to scare them into accepting.
It does kind of sound like we will be thrown on a 'to be replaced with offshore' list, though. This is all insane. No one has the right to demand I take any kind of medical treatment.
