If your employer fires you because you won’t get the COVID vaccine, don’t expect to collect unemployment

“Typically, an employee who is terminated for failing to comply with company policies is not eligible for unemployment benefits, which would include refusing to comply with a company’s COVID-19 prevention policies, masking requirements or vaccine requirements,” Ackels told MarketWatch.

But an employee who has proof of a medical exemption or religious objection to receiving a COVID-19 vaccine may still be eligible to collect unemployment benefits if fired, said Rebecca Dixon, executive director at the National Employment Law Project, a nonprofit that advocates for worker’s rights.

Otherwise, refusing to get a COVID-19 vaccine, if your employer requires one, “is akin to an employee’s refusal to submit to permissible drug tests or participate in safety trainings,” said Ronald Zambrano, employment law chair at West Coast Trial Lawyers, a Los Angeles–based law firm. That is, such an employee, when terminated, would not qualify for unemployment benefits, Zambrano said.

Just read this earlier, I wonder how they can get away without paying unemployment on a vaccine that is not actually approved by the FDA. One they approve it I could see it more. Glad I don't have to worry about it.

That's in California. We're not in California. There's also letters they can sign stating if you suffer any ill effects from the worthless vaccine they accept the liabilities and you can sue.

Nope, that's not California, that's nationwide. Here are a couple of excerpts from the article:

In most states, individuals have to prove they’re out of work through no fault of their own to collect unemployment benefits.

Ultimately, “this could lead to tens of thousands of people across the United States without work or access to unemployment benefits because they refuse to get vaccinated,” Zambrano said.

The Texas Workforce Commission, noting that “[e]very unemployment insurance claim is reviewed on a case by case basis” and that “what happens in an unemployment claim is dependent upon the individual facts,” said that an employee “may be eligible for benefits if you were fired for reasons other than misconduct.”

Safety training and drug tests are not the same as experimental medical treatments, which is what the Covid gene therapy shot is.

It's important to understand what this thing is and what your rights are, including your right to counter employment mandates with your own. Like making the employer responsible for side effects

Sickening....

I have been wondering about the short/long term affects and coverage. If you develop some (strange) medical issue does your medical insurance cover it being you took the experimental drug willingly, or if you die does your life insurance cover.....what a mess the commies have created.

Actually I suspect that increases in the costs of Health insurance for those who aren't vaccinated are going to be coming soon. I've picked up bits here and there on news on the net that indicate it's probably coming.

The noose is tightening.

Time to move to the boonies. Take whatever health issues arise, and self doctor. I like my genes the way they came.

The vaccine doesn't alter your genes at all.

Will a COVID-19 vaccine alter my DNA?

No. COVID-19 vaccines do not change or interact with your DNA in any way. Both mRNA and viral vector COVID-19 vaccines deliver instructions (genetic material) to our cells to start building protection against the virus that causes COVID-19. However, the material never enters the nucleus of the cell, which is where our DNA is kept.

"IF" the CDC is to be believed, they have been wrong about pretty much everything else covid, why should I believe this...

I believe in returning fire. Its the only way to stop socialism. We are way past the point of return JMHO

Carry on!

I guess you're right. It's better to believe internet rumor than to believe a government source.

...but wait. If we can't believe a government source, why do we demand that the Vaccines be FDA approved?

The vaccines not being FDA approved is just an excuse not to get them. Even if they were FDA approved, the FDA is the same agency that treats the pharmaceutical companies like their clients rather than the organizations they're supposed to protect us from, so I don't care if they're FDA approved or not.

The vaccines don't benefit me in any way, and they wouldn't protect others from getting any virus from me. Based on the data coming out, they actually sound pretty useless, and getting the jab could actually pose a health risk to me. The only incentive that I might have to get the vax (FDA approved or not) is because of the restrictions they impose by limiting where I can work, shop or travel. But, the harder they try to sell me on this thing, the harder I'll push back.

Concern is creeping into my head this going to go full on draconia mask mandates if not worse. Did not see it here but saw alot of stuff in P.I. during early martial law and food shortages, pretty hard nosed bunch those Philippine Constabulary, of course all the guns were taken or turned in or were all buried, had curfew at 12am 1am lots of green truck traffic. That will get interesting should that get rolled out.

They ( Any Entity ) will make it so inconvenient and expensive, just to make people bend the knee.

This may be the straw if they keep pushing it.
