NorthShore To Pay $10.3M In Class Action Over COVID-19 Vaccine Mandate Over 500 past and current NorthShore University HealthSystem staff with religious exemptions to the coronavirus vaccine are set to get paid.

EVANSTON, IL A local hospital conglomerate agreed to pay more than $10 million to end a class action lawsuit over its mandatory COVID-19 vaccination policy.

Representatives of NorthShore University HealthSystem and the group of 14 then-employees who filed a federal civil rights lawsuit in October 2021 have agreed upon a settlement agreement to end the suit, court records show.

Attorneys for the staffers described the tentative class-wide settlement as "historic" and the "first of its kind."

NorthShore agreed to establish a $10,337,500 fund, which will provide compensation to approximately 523 of its current or former employees who were denied religious exemptions from its vaccine mandate requested between July 2021 and January 2022.

The hospital's workers are eligible for payouts whether they received a vaccine, quit because of it, or were fired due to their "religious declination of a COVID-19 vaccine," according to the terms of the proposed agreement.

No doubt! Class action vultures win big again. Looks like a $3mm fee.

According to a court filings, the employees who agreed to get vaccine despite their religious objections may be eligible to receive about $3,000, while those who were terminated could get about $25,000.

$3,000 plus the jab, or $25,000. What is that worth in the Biden economy?

ALL entities that fired employees due to CoVID zealotry for no good scientific reasons need to be punished. Particularly the decision makers responsible. Just because they were neurotic sympathetic hypochondriacs or dupes or political hacks doesn't mean they should be allowed to wreck lives and careers wantonly with no consequences.

This is a start. Once there are some cases hopefully things start to roll. These administrators who ignored science and players politics now need to be held responsible.

So you are better with them receiving ZERO.

thats not going to be enough to get them to pay.

will have to be religious discrimination like here. and this is drop in the bucket for this hospital system. it won't change their future behavior at all.

They should have waited for the Biden Medicare mandate. They would have had cover.

My DIL worked for a hospital that held out as long as they could until they were forced to implement the mandate because of Biden.

Biden is headed for a very bad afterlife.

Glad you liked getting stuck and injected.

Hope your pool noodles worked out for you.

they would not have had cover. the biden mandate said religious exemptions still applied. he couldn't change the law on anti-religious discrimination through a funding mandate.

I know, unfortunately. There's the way it should be and the way it is.

Told my dad yesterday my LinkedIn profile & resume will now include: "100X LESS likely to be hospitalized than the fully vaxxed prospect you're considering."

Additionally, a dating site for the unvaxxed will be a gold mine whenever that idea gets funding. My idea, so enjoy. Holla when it's all set up.

OK, I didn't read well enough but...

he also couldn't change law period per the court. So he very well could have changed that part had he wanted to.

In the world of class/collective actions, that's a low percentage fee as compared to the class payment.

And yes, class actions are a scam which enriches lawyers at the expense of society typically. Even in situations where persons are actually harmed, the lawyers leach off of their injury and leave crumbs for those actually damaged.

The tobacco settlement is the best example.

As I noted in my ill-timed thread this morning - there will be many more of these settlements to come. Many employers paid short shrift to the requirements of Title VII b/c they thought the government would give them cover. Title VII wasn't amended to allow the COVID crusaders to steamroll employee rights.

This is correct. The consistently least punished in 21st C America are decision makers of bad policy. That has to start changing.

Don't forget that the feds will scrape a nice chunk off of it for taxes as well. Probably close to what 7-8k in this economy?
