I was fired early this year for "not following company policy" due to the vax mandates. My religious exemption was denied with no reasoning given - I later found out they claimed it was because letting me WFH would have posed "undue hardship" for the corporation (which is bullshit).

I contacted a well known lawfirm that's gotten headlines here on GAW, the day I was fired. We submitted a claim to the EEOC, as that's where they told me we needed to begin the process - you need to pursue all other remedies before bringing a lawsuit to bear, which seems consistent with other legal advice I've read. But it's been almost six months since my claim was submitted and no substantive progress has been made, I feel. Corrupt EEOC is working hand-in-hand with the CDC to make sure that they are dragging their feet as much as possible.

I'm guessing I'll get the right to sue if the EEOC denies my claim against my employer, but I've been largely apart from the process and letting the lawfirm handle everything. They told me they've sparred with my employer and the EEOC but we're still waiting judgement from EEOC. The EEOC fines are light for my multi-billion dollar employer and would amount to a drop in the bucket. Suing for a big lawsuit would be more substantial, as a monetary penalty for what they did, but a part of me wishes this would all conclude, so I could move on with my life. I poured a large part of my adulthood into working there and it sucks to think about all of this BS.

All of the vax mandate lawsuit headlines I've seen are mostly state/city/county government employees or the class actions against big healthcare corporations.....nothing much against single, "private" employers. I'd like to see some wins for individuals there.

The headline here is for direct vax injury and I'm thinking my situation is a bit different under "wrongful termination" and "discrimination"......so more patience is needed in my case.
