Nearly 300 Hanford, PNNL workers sue to stop COVID vaccine mandate and save their jobs

RICHLAND, WA -- About 285 Hanford nuclear reservation workers have filed a lawsuit in federal court, asking that a COVID-19 vaccine mandate be immediately overturned.

Nearly a third of the Hanford workers named as plaintiffs in the lawsuit are with the Hanford Patrol, including officers, a supervisor, a K-9 handler and an instructor.

The Department of Energy has not made the size of its Hanford Patrol workforce public, considering it a security matter.

Always has been. May those clowns lose their jobs, and have no recourse.

I know that the newspaper is owned by McClatchy. While some view them as conservative, McClatchy is actually rated left-center.



Since this article is original informative content and appears to be editorially balanced, I decided to post it.
