Over vaccine status as long as it is being litigated

NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Louisiana’s largest health system cannot fire or otherwise discipline north Louisiana employees who refuse to get vaccinated against COVID-19 while the mandate’s legality is in court, a state appeals court says.
The 2nd Circuit Court of Appeal in Shreveport ruled Thursday, just a day before Ochsner Health’s Friday deadline for its 32,000 employees across Louisiana and in a small part of Mississippi to be fully vaccinated or face dismissal.
State District Judge Craig Marcotte had thrown out a lawsuit brought Oct. 5 by dozens of employees at Ochsner’s Shreveport location. The three-judge appellate panel ordered him to hold a hearing on the mandate and to block enforcement until its legality is decided.

So as a small govt conservative you aren’t for an employers right to choose who they employ? You consider that a win for America?

Well, that is reasonable…however, when the litigation is complete, they will be fired.

How is govt telling who an employer can and cannot fire a loosening of govt?

Who says the employers wants to fire them? The government is forcing them.

We all believe absolutely a company has the right whether to hire or fire someone. However, in this case it has to do with whether or not the company is firing someone who is exercising their civil right (not to be mandated to take the vaccine which hasn't been ruled on yet). So, imho your question is premature.

Biden needs to frick off making business fire people
This court needs to frick off and allow Ochsner to fire people if they want

If that's truly their position, that's pretty sad.

This court is telling Ochsner how to do their own business. It’s big govt and it’s shite

FWIW, i read your point the first time. It doesn't have to keep being reiterated.

Ochsner announced their mandate before Biden
They were gonna do this all along

For those misinformed, here is Ochsner’s release far before any govt mandate

RELEASE DATE: AUGUST 24, 2021 Following full approval of the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine by the Food & Drug Administration (FDA), Ochsner Health (Ochsner) announced a mandatory requirement that all its physicians, providers and employees be vaccinated against COVID-19 by October 29, 2021. This formal announcement comes as the Gulf South continues to face high COVID-19 positivity rates, hospitalizations and deaths. Today, Ochsner is caring for 979 COVID-19 patients. More than 88%, 865, are unvaccinated.

BTW, the state's positivity rate checked in at .97% or so today i believe. I don't remember it being under 1% almost ever. Sure hope we are on the backside of our last big wave.
