"While this issue still hasn’t impacted a significant percentage of the national workforce, various vaccine mandates have led to the dismissal or forced resignation of workers who declined to comply and get vaccinated. This is a significant financial issue for many families because the rules regarding unemployment benefits make many workers ineligible if they either quit or are terminated for cause. In response to this, four states – Arkansas, Florida, Kansas, and Tennessee – had already passed laws making such workers eligible for benefits, with extensions offered in some cases. Now a fifth state has joined the list. Iowa will now allow those who lose their jobs because of a vaccine mandate to apply for and receive unemployment benefits. But not everyone is happy about this. (The Gazette)

At least five Republican-led states including Iowa have extended unemployment benefits to people who’ve lost jobs over vaccine mandates, and a smattering of others may soon follow.

Workers who quit or are fired for cause — including for defying company policy — are generally ineligible for claiming jobless benefits. But Arkansas, Florida, Iowa, Kansas and Tennessee have carved out exceptions for those who won’t submit to the coronavirus vaccine regimens that many companies now require. Similar ideas have been floated in Wyoming, Wisconsin and Missouri.

The changes are among other state measures seeking to curtail what detractors say is President Joe Biden’s overreach into health care decisions. ..."

Democrats continue to prove they actually hate Americans and America (while importing replacement citizens), while Republicans at least try to assist actual Americans in need.

“Democrats continue to prove they actually hate Americans”

And yet too many of the abused will continue to vote for their abusers.

Sorry, don’t agree with this. Vaccine - personal choice, personal consequences.

...as they should! This was not the fault of the American worker. It was the communist playing around with deadly viruses.

I know one person who died after receiving Moderna x 2 and four more that experienced serious side effects from Bells Palsy to stroke to pissing blood for two weeks to serious neurological event.
