Amid reports that international travel will soon require a vaccine passport, former senior Nike employees accused the shoe company of unlawfully requiring them to submit to the COVID-19 vaccine without the proper authority.
“Having an injection inside one’s body has no bearing on the task performed by the plaintiffs and since the COVID 19 vaccines do not prevent infection or transmission, something Nike has acknowledged, it cannot plausibly claim that unvaccinated employees pose a direct threat to their coworkers,” wrote attorney Emerson Lenon in the 8-page complaint.
