Workplace COVID-19 vaccine mandates are growing. Walmart, Disney, Google and Facebook all have some kind of requirement for employees working in person.
This week, President Joe Biden urged more businesses to set vaccine rules. Workers who refuse the shot and don’t get an exemption from their employers could be fired. And for them, unemployment benefits don’t look like an option.
Employer vaccine mandates are like other workplace-safety guidelines, said professor Dorit Reiss of the University of California Hastings College of the Law.
“You can’t tell the employer, ‘Sorry, I don’t like washing hands, so I’m going to ignore it,’” she said.
