Finally, “Employees ‘callously forced to choose between their conscience and their jobs” have a path to compensation.
Clark County Today, reported on July 29, 2022 that a “$10 million settlement has been announced by Liberty Counsel, which brought a lawsuit against NorthShore University HealthSystem on behalf of workers who were forced during the pandemic to take the experimental COVID-19 shots. Officials with the legal team said NorthShore will pay $10,337,500 “to compensate these health care employees who were victims of religious discrimination, and who were punished for their religious beliefs against taking an injection associated with aborted fetal cells.”
Liberty Counsel’s “class action case was on behalf of more than 500 current and former NorthShore workers. The settlement has been filed in federal court in Illinois, and still must be approved by the court”.
The LC legal team announced, “This is a historic, first-of-its-kind class action settlement against a private employer who unlawfully denied hundreds of religious exemption requests to COVID-19 shots. As part of the settlement agreement, NorthShore will also change its unlawful ‘no religious accommodations’ policy to make it consistent with the law, and to provide religious accommodations in every position across its numerous facilities. No position in any NorthShore facility will be considered off limits to unvaccinated employees with approved religious exemptions,” Liberty Counsel revealed”.
