Healthcare Workers Win $10M Settlement Over Hospitals' COVID Vaccine Mandate: 'This Is a Big Wakeup Call'

Some Chicago health care employees are set to receive financial payouts after winning a settlement against NorthShore University HealthSystem over the company’s COVID vaccine mandate.

NorthShore will be required to pay $10.3 million to employees who were denied religious exemptions.

Mat Staver, founder and chairman of Liberty Counsel, was behind the settlement. Staver explained on “Fox & Friends” Tuesday that NorthShore implemented a “jab or job” policy, meaning employees were required to get the vaccine or be terminated.

“All of them were denied religious accommodations,” Staver told host Will Cain. “It was literally no religious accommodation, which they’re required to do under the federal employment law called Title VII.”
