Health will file a lawsuit fast.\u00a0 The basis for the lawsuit could likely be framed around punitive employee punishment based on \u201cmarital status\u201d, a clear violation of existing civil rights law.\u00a0\u00a0 Why stop at spouses?\u00a0 Why not kids or other dependents?\u00a0 What about all other vaccines before COVID?\u00a0 Why now?<\/p>\n<p>By current federal and most state statutes, no employer is legally permitted to discriminate against any employee based on marital status.\u00a0 A penalty against a spouse for non compliance with an employer vaccine mandate is a punitive action <em>only<\/em> against married persons.\u00a0 Find a court that will look at this as a violation of the discrimination clause, because it only targets married employees.\u00a0
