A federal appeals court has ruled that the city of San Francisco must rehire employees who were fired from their jobs because they refused to take the COVID-19 shot, reversing a lower court decision.
In a unanimous ruling issued Thursday, a three-judge panel on the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit ruled that San Francisco must rehire employees who were terminated from their jobs because they declined to comply with a mandate requiring all city employees to take the COVID-19 injection. The appellants in the case, Selina Keene and Melody Fountila, objected to taking the COVID-19 shot on religious grounds.
While Keene and Fountila were listed as the appellants, more than 100 others were also named as plaintiffs. The defendants were the city and county of San Francisco, Mayor London Breed, and the heads of the San Francisco Public Library and the San Francisco Department of Public Health.
