Fired ‘General Hospital’ Crew Members Sue ABC Over Vaccine Requirements

thewrap.com:

lawsuit, filed Wednesday by James Wahl and Timothy Wahl in Los Angeles Superior Court, states, “On November 9, 2021, ABC officially denied Plaintiffs’ requests for religious exemptions to the Covid Vaccine Mandate.

It gave no reason for its decision, except to say that the company was ‘unable to conclude that you are prevented from receiving the Covid-19 vaccine due to a sincerely-held religious belief, practice, or observance.'” The document also calls the firings “unconstitutional.”The complaint goes on to state, “ABC does not have the authority to force a medical treatment on its employees against their will.

Even if it did, it must offer religious exemptions to anybody who requests one.”In the document, prepared by attorneys Scott J.

Street, John W. Howard and Michelle Volk, the plaintiffs claim ABC had “no objective basis” to deny the exemptions and thus is guilty of “religious discrimination.”According to Deadline, who first reported the news, the Wahls are a special effects department boss who has worked for the series for 14 years, and his son, who has worked there for 10.
