LEGAL UPDATES
WHY WE’RE FIGHTING:
After years of dedicated service, federal employees and contractors are asking the government to give our grievances more consideration, rather than mass firings. In court, federal workers are arguing:
​
ONE SIZE DOES NOT FIT ALL:
The mandates to take the vaccine or lose your job do not allow for individualized, case-by-case review and employer accommodations required under longstanding federal law. The mandates require government agencies to undertake unlawful medical inquiries.
​
FIRING EMPLOYEES ON A PERCEIVED DISABILITY IS AGAINST THE LAW:
Both vaccinated and unvaccinated individuals contract and spread Covid-19. The mandates discriminate against individuals based on a perceived disability amid a pandemic where the science and medical treatments are rapidly evolving.
​
THE MANDATES VIOLATE THE INFORMED CONSENT OF PRINCIPLES OF THE FOOD, DRUG, AND COSMETIC ACT:
All citizens have the right to accept or refuse medicines authorized under “emergency use” without the fear of losing their job.
​
OUR SIMPLE REQUEST:
On the basis that the mandates, as written and implemented; are unlawful, federal employees and contractors are asking the judicial system to issue an order that prevents the mass firings of dedicated public servants.
