I guess now I have to get the vax or lose your job. I work for a major transportation company. The union isn’t doing mych about it, it seems. They’ve stated that you can go “medical reasons” or “sincerely held religious beliefs” to not get the vax. Has to be done by November 8th. People are saying that you will have to get your Pastor to sign off on the religious beliefs thing. Wouldn’t that be an invasion of your privacy if they insisted on that? I’ve worked there 32 years and would lose a 6 figure job AND a pension for my wife and I both. I’m at a loss on what to do. And if I do get it I’m thinking the Johnson&Johnson would be the least vax to worry about.
