Do you think Southern California lawyers and court systems are awake enough yet?
I don't.
Not to mention - tech industry involving multi-billion dollar companies.
Additionally, it's not like people have a spare few thousand lying around for a lawyer, especially in a system where the cards are still stacked against you.
Every lawyer I've approached in Southern California, once understanding the wrongful termination was for refusing to get a shot and understanding the company, stopped being interested.
I've tried right when it happened and handful of other times since, including about 3 months ago.
There are a couple of lawyers on SoCal Christian radio advertising that they're helping people who used religious reasons to refuse the shot.
Even though I am Christian, I did not use that excuse.
Reason is, because 2 of my co-workers were also against getting the shot, whom are not Christian.
I had a lot of clout (lol, right?) - so I wanted to make sure my route was something they too could use (the right to refuse should not be exclusive to religious exceptions).
Anyways - since my case doesn't include religious exceptions, perhaps that's why the lawyers get cold feet - they never say.
And that tells me, that we haven't hit that wall yet - certainly not in SoCal.
Regarding Statute of Limitations - CA has a 2 year policy for wrongful termination.
Is "Wrongful Termination" what my case falls into? As far as I can guess, yes. But again - no lawyer that I've talked to will walk forward.
What I'm curious about is Statute of Limitations coming into play.
For those of us that were fired for mandated shot related things - we're crossing the 2 year mark, or already have.
As far as I know, 2 years is often the statute of limitations on these sorts of cases... hopefully I'm wrong.
At what point are we SOL?
If you were wrongly fired, what is stopping you from lawyering up and suing?

I've been waiting - and watching - and preparing.
Any other questions?
Yes, have you checked into what the actual statute of limitations are on your issue with a lawyer or just asked on an online chat site?

We're not there yet. Would you agree?
