Good! I love hearing about employers and organizations losing their asses in these COVID lawsuits.

NorthShore University Health System, which operates six hospitals in Chicago and its northern suburbs, will pay more than $10 million to hundreds of workers who were either fired or threatened with termination when the hospital refused to recognize their religious objections to the hospital operator’s order to receive a Covid-19 vaccine.
Under a settlement deal, about 500 current and former NorthShore employees will receive up to $24,000 each, and potentially get their jobs back.
The hospital system also agreed to rewrite its policies to accommodate religious objectors in all positions within its organization, to align with religious freedom protections within federal civil rights law. Further, NorthShore can no longer bar unvaccinated employees with religious exemptions from any position within its organization, according to the settlement. . . .
