In Together Employees v. Mass General Brigham, Inc., (1st Cir., April 27, 2022), the U.S. 1st Circuit Court of Appeals denied a preliminary injunction to hospital employees who were denied religious exemptions from the hospital's COVID vaccine mandate. The court held that the employees failed to show the irreparable injury necessary to obtain injunctive relief, saying in part:
It is black-letter law that "money damages ordinarily provide an appropriate remedy" for unlawful termination of employment.
