Serious responses only please. I understand private companies can mandate the vax and force you to get it or be threatened with being fired.. so it’s still your “choice”
But my question is.. If a company follows the mandate and coerces thier employees to get the jab, Wouldn’t it be a HIPAA violation and Amendment violation for them to disclose this information to anyone including the GOVERNMENT?! How is that not a civil right violation?
Having been an employer with 30+ full and part-time employees, I am familiar with how this will play out for those who refuse to toe the employer's line: Insubordination. If you refuse a company-required condition of employment you will be asked to resign, failing that, you will be terminated for cause (insubordination). A termination for insubordination makes you INELIGIBLE for unemployment benefits in many states. In the past, I have terminated employees for insubordination and prevailed in their unemployment hearings (they actually did bad things against company directive or policy). Additionally, in "At Will" states, the employee has very, very few protections. Simply stated you are employed at the will of the employer and can be terminated for any reason or no reason at all as long as the reason for termination is not due to discrimination (race, creed, gender).
im not on reddit. Im HR. At will employment does not have to be in contract if your state law provides it. Wrongful termination will be only wrongful if it actually is wrongful. So far from what I know, none of the employers have even been firing employees because they are not vaccinated on paper.. They have been firing them for "other reasons" such as reorganization, cutting down, etc under pretense, - actually any reason will do if you are in the state of at will employment.
yes, I'm sure lawsuits will follow.
