I’m not a legal expert at all, so I need some help. I have the info post from 20-gauge, but I’m not sure my situation fits, or how if it does.
My husband’s company has been offering $1000 for people to get their experimental gene therapy shots. With a low turnout, they were discussing mandating it. I’m not sure if they got pushback, but they decided NOT to mandate it. However, they have created an interesting loophole. If you don’t volunteer your “vaccination” status, they’ll essentially assume you haven’t gotten the shots and will charge up to $200/month surcharge for insurance premiums. They already charge $35ish for smokers. As a benefit for our location, the company pays all of our insurance premiums.
This doesn’t sit well with me, that they want to take his hard-earned money to get an experimental treatment. We have four kids, and two of them are in private school, so extra money going out the door is not something we’d prefer. But we’re also not getting the shots. He has coworkers that are in agreement they are not getting the shot, but I know that people are more likely to do things against their conscience if it costs them money. We are in agreement that he can spearhead the peaceful noncompliance resistance, and he will make them fire him. We have faith that God will take care of our family, no matter what happens. We just need to know how to deal with his company in the meantime for his coworkers who might be tempted to comply.
TL;DR version - Husband’s company wants employees to pay insurance surcharge for NOT getting the shots and could use legal advice.
Edited to add the company pays our insurance premiums as a benefit for the area we live in.
This is a clever strategy. It doesn't sound like they're breaking any legal codes/statutes here. This isn't wage garnishment, nor breaking HIPAA in any way. It's basically "legal extortion" however.
If you're in a right-to-work state, they can terminate without cause nor explanation.
If there are enough co-workers unwilling to get the experimental poison, you all could band together openly and vocally. There is great strength in numbers. Especially if you/they are vital employees, not easily replaced.
Thank you for your reply. This is exactly where we have arrived also. We do live in a right to work state, Texas. Only 45% of the field employees have gotten the shots, so the majority is able to band together. And they are pretty vital. My husband is pretty annoying to the company in that he asks them questions they hadn’t actually thought about. So he intends to ask on what basis are they making medical recommendations; how is his vaccine status to be used; who is it to be shared with; is the health surcharge a direct representation of costs associated with insurance and how is that amount calculated; and how do they know his vaccination status since he has not elected to provide that.
That looks like a solid list of questions. I'm sure you've seen many posts here that talk about putting the liability back on the employer/doctor if one were to get injured. Lots of forms available that nobody will ever sign. I'm not sure how effective this approach has been however.
You could obviously offer many questions around the validity of the scamdemic. There's an endless list that you could ask to further complicate their efforts.
I think the group resistance is the best play, putting the least amount of pressure on you and your husband asking as rogue, isolated "trouble-makers'.
Good luck!
