Fourteen employees of NorthShore University HealthSystem filed a lawsuit against the Illinois-based health care provider, arguing that the facility wouldn’t allow them to keep their jobs due to religious objections to COVID-19 vaccines.

Liberty Counsel, which is representing the 14 health care workers, said in an emailed statement to The Epoch Times on Monday that it filed a class-action lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois.
