Judge Orders United Airlines Not to Put Workers Seeking Vaccine Mandate Exception on Leave

NOTE: judge is an Abbott and Trump appointee.
A federal judge on Tuesday ordered United Airlines not to place workers seeking an exemption to the company’s COVID-19 vaccine mandate on unpaid leave.
The temporary ruling was issued by U.S. District Judge Mark Pittman so workers who filed for an exemption aren’t unduly harmed before he can hear oral arguments in the case.
Six United workers sued the company last month over its plans to put on leave any employees who requested religious or medical exemptions. The suit said the employees were effectively told they’d be terminated if they sought exemptions and alleged that the company was violating Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Americans with Disabilities Act, or ADA.
“United’s actions have left Plaintiffs with the impossible choice of either taking the COVID-19 vaccine, at the expense of their religious beliefs and their health, or losing their livelihoods. In doing so, United has violated Title VII and the ADA by failing to engage in the interactive process and provide reasonable accommodations, and also by retaliating against employees who engaged in protected activity,” the suit states.

This is the correct answer.

Who are these employees?
United has 99.6% of their pilots vaccinated.
The Southwest Airlines fiasco is an issue where the Union and The Company are in the middle of contract negotiations. Southwest Pilots are about 50% vaccinated. however ...United and their pilots worked out agreements pertaining to complications with the vaccines, before they were vaccinated. Southwest has thus far refused to consider any considerations to complications. They expect their differences to be discussed by Monday. Pilots pass medical physicals each six months. Those that have reactions want to be protected. United pilots are Southwest is not.
That was from a direct on line interview this morning with the President of the Southwest Airlines Pilot Union. (Glenn Beck)

Issue is that this companies are now the judge on medical and religious exemptions. Where do they get the right to rule on approval or denial of something that is between someone and God or their doctor? Actually...who does??
I heard a lady saying the hospital in Houston that they were rejecting with no real reasons. Also doctors didn't want to give any out afraid of backlash from the hospital.
