'We filed this lawsuit to protect the rights of honest, hardworking United Airlines employees who have religious or medical reasons not to receive the COVID-19 vaccine. While the airline said it would offer accommodations for those who refuse to get vaccinated for religious or medical reasons, the plaintiffs claim the airline failed to live up to the promise. The lawsuit was filed by two captains, an aircraft technician, a station operations representative, a customer service representative, and a flight attendant on behalf of roughly 2,000 employees who may be impacted by the vaccine requirement. A group of United Airlines employees has filed a lawsuit over the company's 'draconian' policy mandating that all employees get vaccinated against COVID-19.
