The EEOC
announced this week that it has filed a religious discrimination lawsuit against the Owossso, Michigan based Memorial Healthcare. The company revoked its job offer to Yvonne Bair to work as a medical transcriptionist after she objected on religious grounds to receiving an influenza shot or spray immunization. Memorial refused her suggested accommodation of allowing her to wear a mask, even though company policy allowed masks as an alternative for those who cannot take a vaccine for other reasons.
