Pushback: Workers fired from San Fran’s subway for refusing jab win $1 million jury award
Fight! Fight! Fight! Six workers who were fired from San Francisco’s
BART subway system for refusing to get a COVID jab have won a $7.8 million judgment from a jury, with each person taking home more than a million dollars in damages.
The employees claimed religious exemptions to the vaccine mandate but say they were not accommodated by the transit agency, and subsequently lost their job.
BART did initially grant vaccine exemptions, but the plaintiffs argued they weren’t accommodated. An accommodation could have meant that they were able to work from home or get tested regularly for COVID. They argued none of that happened and they lost their jobs.
More information here and here. There were not the only fired employees who sued. Another sixteen had sued and then settled in July. It also appears that further suits by fired employees are pending.
Do not expect these stories to stop. Over the next five years we will see story after story of blacklisted individuals winning case after case, because almost all the blacklisting in the past five years due to politics, COVID, and racial bigotry has been blatantly illegal, not only breaking numerous civil rights laws but in direct violation of the Constitution, the Bill of Rights, and the very fundamental principles of American culture. When these cases get before juries, the plantiffs are going to win, and win big, as these former BART employees have.

Please consider supporting my work here at Behind the Black. Your support allows me the freedom and ability to analyze objectively the ongoing renaissance in space, as well as the cultural changes -- for good or ill -- that are happening across America. Fourteen years ago I wrote that SLS and Orion were a bad ideas, a waste of money, would be years behind schedule, and better replaced by commercial private enterprise. Only now does it appear that Washington might finally recognize this reality.
In 2020 when the world panicked over COVID I wrote that the panic was unnecessary, that the virus was apparently simply a variation of the flu, that masks were not simply pointless but if worn incorrectly were a health threat, that the lockdowns were a disaster and did nothing to stop the spread of COVID. Only in the past year have some of our so-called experts in the health field have begun to recognize these facts.
Your help allows me to do this kind of intelligent analysis. I take no advertising or sponsors, so my reporting isn't influenced by donations by established space or drug companies.

When will these lawsuit settlements require the offending individuals (in management most likely) to pay out of their own pockets, rather than from the public’s purse? Or require the union to pay out, if the union failed to support those who lost their jobs? Management violated constitutional rights; BART the organization didn’t make those decisions. Having the offending managers pay up will stop these violations quickly.
Seattle and Tacoma are on Puget Sound and Washington State has a ferry system to get to the islands and across the Sound. Since covid the local news keeps complaining about how the ferry system has to reduce routes because they are short staffed. What they never say is the reason they are short crew is because they fired all of them that didn’t get the jab.
I hope all these forgotten people get justice. Unfortunately it will come out of the taxpayers’ pockets.

Ahh yes, you can really trust a “scientific” product that uses a graphic that doesn’t correctly show the relationship between degrees C and F
Andi: I am curious. What graphic are you referring to?
