My husband works for DHS. His union pretty much told him and his un"vaccinated" coworkers to fuck off and comply. DHS is planning on starting weekly COVID tests for the un"vaxxed". I'm sure it'll eventually turn into mandatory "vax". He's getting a lawyer.
He needs to let his union know that he will fight termination of the forced jab is not covered in his collective bargaining agreement. Research "Pre-determination" and "Weingarten" . In the age of corruption we currently live in, no telling if that will mean anything but, at the very least,his union will have to spend money defending his position. The worst that can happen is he'll get fired, which is basically the same result as if he does not fight it and refuses the jab.
The process of terminating requires there to be an investigation and then a supposedly impartial third party to hear both sides of the case. In ANY AND EVERY interaction before or during that process, DO NOT offer any opinion or an explanation for why you are refusing the jab - let them talk, record everything and demand union representation EVERY SINGLE TIME. In short, HAVE a plausible reason for rejecting the jab, but don't tell them enough about your reason for them to build an argument against it. Save your ammo for the termination hearing. I'm not a lawyer, seek legal representation, know your rights and your contract.
Thank you for the info! So far, it's forced COVID tests weekly. They haven't set a start date for it. I'm sure it's leading to mandatory jabs. He's also going to be contacting a lawyer. Worth fighting if the outcome is the same either way.
We survived us both being laid off half the year last year. I'm sure we will survive whatever else comes our way.
He's NYPD, he's in a union. Use the USPS model, it ain't in the contract, it can't be a condition of employment. Make it a union issue.

Better remind his union refusal to represent is felony time
Even if it's a federal government union? He is going to talk to them and his like minded coworkers.

Tell him to stay strong no matter what
He said don't worry, he's willing to lose his job over this fight. They'll have to fire him, though.
this is probably the best path forward.
Interesting approach. I like.
Smart.
