These suits are great, but they miss the boat. Sure it's easier to base them on religious objections, but really, this leaves bodily autonomy in the ditch.
This was not just about religion. After UAL dictated a vaccine mandate, employees went to UAL and asked for an exemption to the mandate based on EITHER religious reasons OR medical reasons The legal foundation is in Title VII and the ADA. The employees actually did cite bodily autonomy, but had to cite case law to do that.
True enough, and I have fought those Title VII fights. Nonetheless, your last line sums up my objection, we can't just claim sovereignty over our own body, which should be a given, but instead have to cite case law.
I agree. But, seems like we have to start somewhere. Doesn't seem like these corporations should have a leg to stand on when it comes to the legality of mandating your employees take an experimental vaxx.
Certainly we have to start somewhere. My objections if more at the world that this win -- claiming sovereignty over our own body should be good enough.
That of course is my pie in the ski opinion, but I did win my own battle by doing just that. Sure, the $100K per person, per violation, per day that I threatened my chain of command with might have had something to do with it!
