Friend,

Liberty Counsel settled the nation’s first classwide lawsuit for health care workers over a COVID shot mandate for more than 10.3 million. 

The class action settlement against NorthShore University HealthSystem in Illinois is on behalf of more than 500 current and former health care workers who were unlawfully discriminated against and denied religious exemptions from the COVID shot mandate. 

The agreed-upon settlement was filed last Friday in federal court.

As a result of the settlement, NorthShore will pay 10,337,500 million dollars to compensate these health care employees who were victims of religious discrimination, and who were punished for their religious beliefs against taking an injection associated with aborted fetal cells.
 

Fund the fight for religious freedom!
 

This historic settlement will send shock waves across the nation.

In October 2021, Liberty Counsel sent a demand letter to NorthShore on behalf of numerous health care workers who had sincere religious objections to NorthShore’s “Mandatory COVID-19 Vaccination Policy.”

If NorthShore had agreed to follow the law and grant religious exemptions, the matter would have been quickly resolved and it would not have cost NorthShore anything. But NorthShore refused to follow the law and instead denied ALL religious exemptions and accommodation requests.

We kept our promise to fight for these heroes, and we achieved justice for them. We continue to work with thousands of others, including the military.

Each member of the class will receive substantial compensation, unlike many class action suits in which the victims receive next to nothing.

This settlement should be a wake-up call to every employer that did not accommodate or exempt employees who opposed the COVID shots for religious reasons.

Let this case be a warning to employers that violated Title VII. 

It is especially significant and gratifying that this first classwide COVID settlement protects health care workers. 

Health care workers are heroes who daily give their lives to protect and treat their patients. They are needed now more than ever.

In addition to the 10.3-million-dollar payout, employees who were terminated because of their religious objections to the COVID shots will be eligible for rehire if they apply within 90 days of final settlement approval by the court, and they will retain their previous seniority level.

Finally, as part of the settlement agreement, NorthShore will also change its unlawful “no religious accommodations” policy to make it consistent with the law, and to provide religious accommodations in every position across its numerous facilities. No position in any NorthShore facility will be considered off limits to unvaccinated employees with approved religious exemptions.

But our fight for religious freedom is nowhere near over. YOU can help defend religious freedom with our Challenge Grant.

Praise God, the Christian flag will soon be raised on the Boston City Hall Plaza public forum during a Camp Constitution event this Wednesday, thanks to our Shurtleff v. City of Boston 9-0 Supreme Court victory!

Last week, a federal judge in Ohio issued a classwide preliminary injunction protecting members of the U.S. Air Force and Space Force from Joe Biden’s unlawful mandatory shot orders. This is an incredible victory!

And on Wednesday, we filed an amended complaint seeking class certification for the U.S. Coast Guard. And we continue to pursue protection for the Marines, Army and more.

Our legal work defending religious freedom is making HUGE progress, but there is much work before us. Few could afford to litigate against massive corporations and a government gone mad.
