I am not making excuses here for bad behavior by human beings towards others, and I am most certainly not trying to diminish in any way the situation you are in at work. The actions by these employers against hard working Americans is disgusting and at some point I pray they are held accountable. I am only trying to bring some clarity as to what possible legal standing a person may have to pursue justice. Without knowing where these distinctions lie, an employee will find it difficult to know where they stand and how to take the legal bull by the horns.
Although it must not be easy and I am sure they want you to quit, the reason your employer and others have been able to separate and treat their employees different due to vaxxine status, is because of the stupid Covid rules and the health emergency state. The health emergency state alone, still in effect nationally and in most states, allows them to get away with all kinds of actions they would not ordinarily be able to exercise. That twisted power in the hands of mental deficient bosses bent on making other people's lives miserable to give them some sense of power and importance in their otherwise meaningless lives, is a recipe for what you are having to suffer through.
Without disclosure as to status one way or the other, a person can be assumed as unvaxxed. The guidance for how employers have been able to get away with what they are doing is based somewhat on the ADA and other Federal employment law. The law requires employers to make "reasonable" accommodations with regards to someone protected by religion or medical condition. But this is a fuzzy area. All an employer has to say is they they are unable to make reasonable accommodation and an employee can be terminated. This is especially true in right to work states. Under the guise of protecting the Karen Covidians, that means separation from you. The vaxxine mandates and other Covid measures are messed up for sure, and ethically and morally the case can be made that you most definitely are being discriminated against. But, legally is another story.
Thank you for continuing to be strong and having the courage to stand your ground. Heaven knows it cannot be easy. My prayers go out to you and I pray that someday you will see justice for what they have put you through. Maybe in some small way, your situation will be used to show that it must not be done to others. God bless you fren and hang in there.
