I already declared myself exempt from the vaccine, which was approved, but now they are saying I must get tested 2 times a week. They are still “writing the policy details”. I want to know if they can do that or if it should fall under my exemption?

Do you mind me asking in which state you were able to get a religious exemption? I have three kids who are faced with this in N. CA. What did you do to get your exemption approved? What tact did you take? Most here are being declined. Thank you.
Colorado. This is what I sent my employer: “ I, _______, declare religious exemption from the COVID-19 vaccination mandate. Under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, I attest to having sincerely held personal religious beliefs which will not permit me to abide by this mandate.
Additionally, I am not willing to describe these personal religious beliefs for the reasonable fear that if others have knowledge of them it may engender discrimination against me and/or my family.
I am aware that reasonable accommodations may have to be made regarding this declaration of religious exemption, and am willing to discuss accommodations that would be necessary and reasonable in order to come to an agreement.
Finally, I expect this letter to remain confidential, and its contents be disclosed on to those for whom there is an express need.”
Thank you so much for sharing this. One of my sons, who works for Union Pacific, called to tell me that he got the first jab, because it was the last day he could before being let go. He also said that UP is backing off somewhat, so he's hoping he won't feel forced to get the 2nd jab. I will pass your letter on to my two daughters and hope for a better outcome for them. I really, really appreciate your help & kindness.
