Depends on employer policy, but a ‘for cause’ termination would hold up if challenged.
Lack of integrity is met with termination of employment.

Please keep us updated on this Cody. Personally, I'll support whatever decision you decide to make. Even if you do decide to get the vaccine. I understand you have to do what you have to do to make ends meet and feed your family.

Exactly. Many companies have such company policies to cover a multitude of various offences, lying being a lack of integrity.
And many times, commissions of such offences are worded as the punishment being, ".....up to and including termination."
Not sure where you stand on religion. This is what I have a few people proof reading for me currently so that I can send to my pastor and then claim religious exemption.
Good afternoon. I would appreciate your help in a matter with Union Pacific. I received a message this morning that they will require all employees to be fully vaccinated by December 8th which means I would have to receive both shots by the end of November. I have attached a PDF that allows employees to submit a case for religious exemption. I do not agree with the methods used to create the vaccines. I am also concerned about all the secrecy in relation to the vaccines and how the manufacturers cannot be held liable for side effects. I am not going to get the shot and I am seeking your support for a religious exemption.
Just got a reply from my dept head that said he doubts HR was gonna even consider the Executive Order since Texas is a right to work state. Still gonna try to push on them a bit. Truth is, this may be my last hope. At 50, leaving and starting over somewhere is not high on my list of things I want to do, not to mention I may face the same issue.

They will not allow for weekly testing. I would have been tested daily if it secured my employment. I’ve had the swab up the nose twice already and while it was uncomfortable, it was not unbearable.
I highly agree that many places are short staffed. It would be hard to find my same benefits. My entire family is fully insured for $260/month. I do not pay into social security because I pay into railroad retirement. Whatever my retirement is, my wife will earn her own retirement that is equal to 50% of mine. Like most jobs, the more you work, the more you make and majority of the people in my craft do pretty well for themselves. I don’t want to throw incomes around as I don’t think it’s polite.

I fully understand your reluctance to losing that job, and agree would be a hard to replace it with one of equal pay and benefits. I worked for BN many years ago, and even the lowest general laborer positions were very well paying and had excellent benefits.
I hold a conductor and engineers license. The hours are long and I travel on call but I’m trying to make up for all the goofing around and slacking off I did when I was a young adult.
You know after 50 pages of posts we hope that you can make a decision and I have heard a lot of whining on this post. It's not like you are about to be drafted into the army to get your butt shot off in Viet Nam. Either get the shot or quit your job, that's what it comes down to. You have it a lot easier than what men have had in the past.
