Corporation cited for illegal religious discrimination..
A hospital in Grand Rapids, Mich., has agreed to pay a settlement to a job applicant who had been offered a position, but then was arbitrarily rejected because he declined to take a flu shot hospital officials demanded.
...
The fight involved Trinity Health Grand Rapids, which previously was known as Mercy Health St. Mary's. The resolution includes a consent decree that allows paying of some $50,000 to the worker who was rejected.
The case originally was filed by the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission and charged the hospital improperly denied a job applicant’s request for a religious exemption to the flu shot.
The requirement for such shots later was dropped by the hospital, which agreed to train leaders on religious rights in addition to paying the settlement.
"According to the EEOC’s lawsuit, even though the hospital’s former flu shot policy allowed for a religious exemption, the hospital determined the applicant’s articulated religious beliefs were 'insufficient' to grant the exemption and denied it without an explanation. Trinity Health, which had made a conditional job offer to the applicant, then rescinded that job offer and did not give the applicant an opportunity to address the concerns with his request."
The EEOC accused the corporation of violating Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.

What is the point of protecting one from religious persecution, if there is no punishment for an organization who practices religious persecution?
Did you file with EEOC? That’s the starting place.
A person I know filed in Jan 22 - finally notified that “investigation” should be complete soon. He’s been sending every single one of these type articles to the investigator.
It’s interesting that someone who was NEVER HIRED got the sum that they got.
