Sara Jodka was quoted by HR Dive in the article, "Texas Federal Judge Upholds United Airlines' Vaccine Mandate." Judge Mark Pittman denied a motion for preliminary injunction by employees of United Airlines who alleged the company's COVID-19 vaccination policy failed to reasonably accommodate exempt employees and retaliated against those seeking exemptions in Sambrano et al. v. United Airlines ("Sambrano"). While Sambrano could have positive implications for mandates, Sara shared that it involves fact-specific details that may not apply to all workplaces. "I would encourage employers to be reminded that they can't take this particular case as carte blanche to implement their own vaccine mandate," Sara said. "They will be remiss if they look past the fact that this is specific to the airline industry." To read the article, click here.
