The pandemic may be ending to some degree across America, but the lawsuits over Hollywood protocols and COVID-19 vaccination mandates look like they’re just beginning.
Following in the legal footsteps of pink slipped General Hospital cast member Ingo Rademacher, two former crew members on the ABC produced soap are now suing the Disney-owned network over being let go for not getting vaccinated against COVID-19.
“On November 9, 2021, ABC officially denied Plaintiffs’ requests for religious exemptions to the Covid Vaccine Mandate,” declares a Wrongful Termination and four other claims complaint from ex-General Hospital staffers Jim Wahl and Timothy Wahl filed on Wednesday (June 15) in LA Superior Court.
“It gave no reason for its decision, except to say that the company was ‘unable to conclude that you are prevented from receiving the Covid-19 vaccine due to a sincerely-held religious belief, practice, or observance,’” the filing states, calling ABC’s COVID-19 vaccine mandate “unconstitutional.”
