Law firm announces historic win for Health care workers
Liberty Counsel has announced a historic win for 500 health care workers. The group of former and current health workers filed a lawsuit against NorthShore University Health system concerning COVID mandates. The plaintiffs in the case say they were discriminated against for requesting religious exemptions to be excluded from being required to take the shot by the healthcare company. Attorneys for the group say this equaled religious discrimination. A justice ruled in favor of the group agreeing that they were discriminated against. NorthShore has agreed to settle the case out of court for a total of $10.3 million dollars. The company has also agreed to change its no religious accommodations clause in its policy. Positions will also not be limited to employees who have been granted religious exemption. Former employees fired over the controversy will also be allowed to apply for rehire 90 days after the final settlement has been approved. According to the law firm each employee that was fired will receive about 25 thousand dollars; those that were forced to take the shot to keep their jobs will receive three thousand dollars in the settlement. Founder and chairman of Liberty Counsel Mat Staver called the settlement “a wake-up call” to employers who refused to grant religious exemptions to employees over the COVID shot.
