Eff you Frank and the fiserv leadership that FORCED people to get the vax of lose their job. This should have always been a personal choice.
For those of you pro vaccine, I am fine if you want it.

They can mandate it on a company level, but legally they will own it with no government mandate to hide behind.
Frank is right (for once). Vaccine mandates are good policy.
Companies are still allowed to have their own vaccine mandates.
It doesn't matter whether or not federal mandates are blocked.
Fiserv is far from the only company to have a vaccine mandate.
Those dreaming of lawsuit paydays - it's wishful thinking.
What Is COVID Virus Wrongful Termination?
Most employers have done their best to navigate the COVID-19 pandemic with the well-being of their employees in mind. Unfortunately, others have responded by firing their workers unlawfully.
Employment in the United States is generally “at-will,” meaning workers can be fired at any time, with or without reason or warning. However, there are exceptions to the at-will rule that may constitute wrongful termination.
What Constitutes Wrongful Termination Amid COVID-19?
If you were let go during the coronavirus pandemic for any of the following reasons, you may have grounds for a wrongful termination lawsuit.
- Bringing Up Safety Concerns: If you were dismissed for bringing up safety concerns to your employer, you may have a claim for wrongful termination. The Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSH) prohibits employers from terminating an employee for filing a complaint about workplace safety.
- Taking Medical Leave: If your employer fires you for taking medical leave, they risk a wrongful termination lawsuit. The Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) affords eligible employees up to 12 weeks of unpaid leave for, among other things, serious health conditions.
- Obeying a Shelter-In-Place Order: Your employer can’t fire you for following a public policy order without risking legal action. Most states have issued orders that distinguish between “essential” and “non-essential” businesses. If you believe your employer is wrongfully requesting you to go to work, contact our attorneys.
I got fired for not doing this. I will be filing a lawsuit and I will follow up on what happens.
No the only question is will Fiserv change policy, or keep the vaccination requirement?
Glad I stuck to my g-ns and didn’t let Fiserv try to run my health. It’s my choice not theirs
yup, and the federal contractor rule is blocked as well.
