posted by Dr Winston O'BoogieI used to work for a company that forbade smoking. You could be tested for it like drugs. If you came up positive, you were fired. A fired employee sued and it held up in court. This isn't the same thing, but it seems relevant.
Usually everyone is an "employee at will" and the company can do whatever it wants, so long as it treats everyone the same.
I don't know. It seems most people believe employers can require vaccinations. But you're forcing people to undergo a medical procedure, arguably an elective one, that DOES have a >0% risk of death.
I'm sure an argument will be made that you are discriminating against people based on a medical condition. I think where companies will screw up is they'll make exceptions for people who have good reasons not to be vaccinated. And THAT would be unequal treatment.
