I was let go from an adjunct online teaching job at a community college in my state because I was denied the religious exemption that I applied for. The HR Dept. there is very smug. So I filed a complaint with the State Civil Liberties Dept back in Jan 2022. The school actually hired a lawyer to deal with it (probably cost them more than my semester pay). I had to file so much paperwork for months and have not heard anything back from them since Dec 2022. Well, today I received notice from them that I have been found to have "Probable Cause" and they are scheduling a "Conciliation." I have no idea what that will do for me (someone else has my job) but it feels good to at least hear that I got this far. It was so much paperwork that I wanted to give up. Looking over all that paperwork, I cannot believe I did it.

Here in UK there were jab mandates for NHS (health service) workers who had contact with patients, and elderly care workers. Even those were heavily fought over and I don't think anyone was ever fired for refusal.
I don't work in those areas but I still had to face my company demanding that I either show digital evidence on my phone of prior covid injection, or take an on-the-spot test, before I could enter my office.
I had no jab and throughout the whole covid event never took a test even once, so I was not going to obey that. UK law requires that HR implement a conflict resolution procedure which HR absolutely love doing because it makes them feel important. Guess what they flat-out refused to do it when I objected to their restrictions. Soon afterwards the whole thing was quietly dropped, except that they scanned me with a thermal camera on entry and there was really nothing I could do about that.
tl;dr they already knew full well that their covid mandates were not enforceable by law.
