From the Texas Trial Lawyers Association news release.

The New York Times reported that the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission issued guidance that employers “can require workers to get a Covid-19 vaccine and bar them from the workplace if they refuse.” According to the Times, the EEOC “said that requiring an employee to show proof of having gotten a Covid-19 vaccination would not amount to a disability-related inquiry.”

About This Blog

The title of this blog reflects my attitude toward those government agencies and insurance companies that routinely mistreat injured or disabled people. As a Dallas, Texas lawyer, I've spent more than 45 years trying to help those poor folk, and I have been frustrated daily by the actions of the people on the other side of their claims. (Sorry if I offended you...)
