J. Gillmor dismisses a complaint by a former government accusing her union of filing a grievance on her behalf when she was fired over Covid-19 vaccination requirements. The employee does not make any direct claims of religious or otherwise discrimination that led to the union not filing. The employee’s complaint is more focused on her actual employer, who is not a defendant, and barely addresses the union’s role.

Per curiam, finds that Florida’s public employees relations commission improperly dismissed a union’s claims of unfair labor practices between the union and county regarding mandatory Covid-19 vaccinations. The state’s 18-month statutory reprieve expired on June 1, 2023, which is insufficient to moot the entire controversy. Reversed.

J. McShane grants the healthcare company summary judgment against the nurse's complaint alleging that it fired her for raising concerns about the nurse staffing shortage during the Covid-19 pandemic. The nurse expressing her concerns to her supervisor about intraorganization conditions is not a disclosure, and the nurse does not present evidence that the healthcare company's legitimate reason to fire her was pre-textual because it is undermined by the timing of the alleged disclosures.

Per curiam, the circuit finds that the district court properly dismissed civil rights claims in which current and former city school employees opposed the Covid-19 vaccine mandate. The employees contend the department of education violated due process by enforcing the requirement through suspension or termination, but their unions followed federal arbitration procedures in negotiating terms that included exemption and unpaid leave. Affirmed.
Court: 2nd Circuit, Judge: Per curiam, Filed On: November 13, 2023, Case #: 23-655, Categories: employment, covid-19, labor / Unions
J. Virden finds the Arkansas Board of Review properly required the worker to repay unemployment-compensation benefits. The overpayment was a result of a final disqualifying determination finding that the worker was not able and available to work, not due to agency error. There is substantial evidence to support the findings. The Board also found that the worker was not at fault in causing the overpayment, which meets the first prong of the Federal Pandemic Unemployment Compensation-waiver analysis. This question is remanded for findings as to whether repayment of the FPUC benefits would be contrary to equity and good conscience. Affirmed in part.
