You're Heroes! We're with you.
We believe you wil be the healthcare force of the future. You will come back. Your decision of being non-vaccinated proves your maturity and responsibility. If you're responsible for yourself you're in a better position to be responsible for the others too. The other way it doesn't work.
We all hope that the tides will turn and you will have big come back.
At this stage the following are important:
-
Take care about your status. Collect all proofs why you're getting fired so you can prove discrimination in the court in the future.
-
Make notes about all fraudulent and criminal activities you've witnessed at work. In months time you can forget the details, so make notes, facts, dates, names, everything that can be verified in the future based on the medical records. You just need to note what you may need to refer to in the future. Believe me: you will forget 90% of the details. Note them! Patient name or number, date of treatment, what was incorrectly handled. You will be a witnesses when the time will come.
-
Make sure you've got contacts to all your fired co-workers. Don't be left alone. Once they cut your employment and prohibit to come the place of work you may find it difficult to find the others. Buy old fashioned contact book. Don't wait, do it now.
-
Using the contacts above - setup communication tools that will make easier to act as a group. You can share legal fees (even at better rates) when you act as a group. You can also communicate better to plan next legal moves. If you act a group you've got better (network) access to any help you may need.
-
Prepare your testimony to share with people around the world. They have the same problem as you do. If you don't have the courage yet - make notes, you will use it later. You will be stronger once you see the support from other people.
-
Don't sign any papers if you're given. They had enough time to prepare it. You haven't! They're in a better possition if they give you long, unknown document. You can miss something important that can potentially block your opinions and moves in the future. Reject to sign, but get the copy signed by them to review/read. Use maximum time allowed to wait to review it with the lawyers. Sometimes it's better not to sign anything than to sign the document that gives you 2x your monthly salary. You can potentially sue them for more, court can force them to pay you for the whole duration of a legal battle as if you were employed, you can also have your job back when the time comes. Once they're fired - you can get promoted too.
-
Build alliances. Contact America frontline doctors, doctors - whistleblowers, etc.

UPDATE: To everyone who contribute in comments - I will keep updating the text to make it useful for those who may need it. Thank you for your ideas! It's all we can do know, but we have many different skills here to share and support those who are in this battle with us. We are in this together!
Someone formed a private group on telegram for us. We've allowed others who work in our vicinity for other organizations to join our group too, power in numbers. Many of my coworkers are now suspended w/o pay for 28 days to come into compliance, though they still have their health insurance, probably have to write a check for their premiums that would normally come from their paycheck. I've got news for these organizations, if you've suspended someone who refuses to get the jab, I doubt they are going to comply in that 28 days. They'll use their time to look for another job. I read one person's message this morning. She had left our organization because she was promised there would no jab mandate. Well guess what, there is at her new place of employment. She should have gotten it in writing before she took the job. They are making her double mask, n95 plus a regular mask on top of that 🙄😡 and also testing them twice a week and charging it to their(employee) health insurance company. I think this is illegal as someone brought up osha rules that they cannot make you pay for something they are requiring as a condition of your employment and to file a complaint with osha. Also if you are being mandated by your employer for any of this, file a complaint with your state human rights commission.
