Change in Job-Sites for Non-Vaccinated Employee Was Not Discriminatory, Retaliatory, Federal Judge Rules
“Leggo is evidently upset that he has not been able to work the full extent as other M.C. Dean employees because by refusing to disclose his vaccination status, he has been deemed unvaccinated,” Brinkema wrote. “[H]owever, the pleadings filed by plaintiff make clear that M.C. Dean’s COVID-19 policy was a response to the vaccination and testing requirements of its customers given the ongoing pandemic, and his claims that M.C. Dean discriminated or retaliated against him on a perceived disability are therefore implausible and conclusory.”
