The Incoercible Fight Back, Taking Recent Receipts
Justice for bodily autonomy comes calling... Sacked unvaccinated workers across the world battle on
Waste Disposal Workers Snatch Victory in the Courts
Six people, based in Trinidad and Tobago, who were fired for refusing the COVID-19 “vaccine”, will continue receiving salaries from Waste Disposals (2023) Ltd and Envirotech Holdings Limited. until the legality of their terminations is determined. Earlier this week, the Industrial Court ruled in favour of the employees and imposed additional fines on the companies. The Communication Workers' Union (CWU) represented the workers and expressed satisfaction with the ruling. The court also dismissed the employer's application on constitutionality and jurisdiction and found them guilty of contempt. The workers are Deryck Mason, Gerard Wilson, Julien Simon, Lester Quashie, Sheldon Primus, and Janelle Whiskey.
Sacked Upstate Hospital Attendant Retaliates
Oleg Sidorchuk, an Upstate hospital attendant, refused to get a Covid-19 vaccine on religious grounds in 2021. After a two-year legal battle, he lost his job in April. However, in May, the state dropped its vaccination mandate, allowing the hiring of non-vaccinated workers at Upstate University Hospital. Now, Sidorchuk's union, the Civil Service Employees Association, is suing Upstate on his behalf to overturn his firing and claim back pay. Sidorchuk’s lawyers are confident about the case, which will be heard in early September.
Ousted Canadian Military Members Given New Hope
A Canadian military tribunal's non-binding decision may lead to more lawsuits against the federal government and reopen the debate over vaccine mandates. The Military Grievances External Review Committee (MGERC) found that the COVID-19 vaccine policy within the Canadian Armed Forces might have violated Charter rights of some members. Over 400 military members were fired or quit after refusing the vaccine, and 157 cases were referred to the committee for review. The committee found the policy was "arbitrary, overly broad, and disproportionate." The union is now suing on behalf of a former military member, sniper Dallas Flamand, seeking to overturn his firing and claim back pay.
Fired University Employee Set To Get Job Back
A judge in Charlottesville, Virigina, USA, ruled in favour of Kaycee McCoy, a woman who claimed she was wrongfully fired by the University of Virginia Health System for refusing the COVID-19 vaccine on religious grounds. The judge cited the separation of church and state and found that UVa acted in an arbitrary and capricious manner in denying her religious exemption request. UVa Health is also facing a possible class action lawsuit with around 400 claims of wrongful termination related to its vaccine policy. The university is set to end its vaccine mandate on August 4. Some employees have started receiving reinstatement letters.
Law Enforcement Group Strike Back Against School District
More than 20 school law enforcement officers are suing Los Angeles Unified, alleging wrongful termination or facing termination despite filing for religious exemptions to the district's COVID-19 vaccination mandate. They’re seeking a preliminary injunction to rescind the mandate, claiming it is no longer needed. The district implemented a vaccine mandate in August 2020, which the plaintiffs' lawyers argue is no longer necessary. The suit claims the district disregarded religious beliefs and enforced the policy to the plaintiffs' detriment. The plaintiffs include school safety officers, police officers, detectives, and others.

Heartening news, indeed. Wish there were more lawsuits purely on bodily integrity/constitutional/medical ethics grounds. Religious conviction does not cover everyone, although it's great that we are getting wins there. It would be gratifying to see more all-encompassing rulings, which apply to every person, irrespective of religious stance. It needs to be driven home that every single person in the world has the right to refuse medical treatment, of any nature, for any reason. Non-negotiable. Non-derogable. Unalienable.
Fantastic update, thank you. As the genocide reaches all corners and walks of life, the people can only be fooled for so long before they see who the agressor really is; the US military governmental complex. We created the government, and we are the government, but can we dismantle it as well?
