Nine former employees of Newmont CC&V Mining Corp. filed a lawsuit against the company April 11 in U.S. District Court for the District of Colorado. The suit alleges religious discrimination and retaliation by unlawful termination after the company denied their request to be exempt from taking the COVID-19 vaccine.
The nine refused the company mandate to be vaccinated and were terminated.
The lawsuit alleges Newmont forced every employee to violate their sincerely held religious beliefs or face termination of employment.
“CC&V is aware of a lawsuit filed in federal court by former CC&V employees,” said Katie Blake, sustainability & external relations manager with the Cripple Creek and Victor Gold Mining Co. “We will not comment on the specifics of this lawsuit, other than to state that CC&V fully complied with the law with respect to the COVID-19 vaccine requirement and intends to vigorously defend this lawsuit.”
The nine former employees who filed the lawsuit are Richard Grenfell, his brother Les Grenfell and his daughter, Katalyn Grenfell, Phillip Leck, Jonathan Elliott, Cody Schwab, Gordon Mundell, Austin Morris and Dwayne Johnson.
“These are hard-working people who do labor-intensive work,” said Steven L. Murray, with Murray Law, LLC, in Denver, who represents the nine employees. “These are not officers but laborers.”
Newmont announced the vaccine mandate on Oct. 19, 2021.
After the announcement of the vaccine mandate, each of the nine employees requested a timely, reasonable religious accommodation to the vaccine mandate, states the lawsuit.
Along with the request, the employees explained to Newmont that their bona fide, sincerely held religious beliefs prohibited them from taking the COVID-19 vaccine.
The employees assert that Newmont discriminated in the depth of its questions about their religious beliefs and conducted an improperly invasive, discriminatory and retaliatory process in evaluating their accommodation requests.
The employees objected on many occasions to Newmont about its discriminatory questions and examination of their religious faith, the lawsuit alleges.
The lawsuit alleges that the employees are unaware of Newmont’s granting any religious accommodation or exemption to the COVID-19 vaccine to any Newmont employee.
Newmont terminated each of the nine employees in January 2022.
In the lawsuit, Murray cites Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 that prohibits employers from engaging in religious discrimination in employment, and from retaliating against employees for engaging in lawfully protected activities, including objecting to their employer in this case, Newmont, about discrimination.
“Title VII’s definition of religion is broad. Employees have the right to seek and receive reasonable accommodations to their religious faith and beliefs, even if the employer disagrees with the nature of their religious faith,” Murray said.
The nine employees request a jury trial and seek back pay, compensatory damages, punitive damages, and other relief.
Idiotic mandates. Miners are exposed to far worse stuff than coronavirii.
There will be a lot more of this. And the companies who mandated the Jab will lose, if our legal system functions properly. It may not because of entrenched Leftist Judges.
This is clearly outside the law to mandate.
Those who promoted this must be punished.
Senior Newmont Corporation executive Dan Janney fired for failing to comply with the global gold giant’s COVID-19 vaccination policy...
Mr Janney was a former boss of Rio Tinto’s Australian coal mines.
Drug manufacturers have legal immunity from being sued.. hospitals, businesses, schools ... that mandate experimental, not approved shots do Not have legal immunity / can be sued for adverse reactions, like myocarditis, pericarditis .. death..
Lawyers are training ourselves now to file and win Covid lawsuits. The big wigs will pay.
As this all shakes out, the major impact of the vaccines might well be hundreds of millions around the world who will never, ever trust their governments again.
Also the millions injured and the tens of thousands, if not hundreds of thousands, killed by the vaccines.

Yet there are still cheerleaders on this very site that state the vaccines are approved by captain Stubbing on their 87th cruise while they themselves were turned into an Adonis of strength and sex appeal. The Duke of the USA was just huffing all the Diesel-gas. Don’t get furious with me. Calls it’s how’s I sees it. No money grubbing snake oil salesmen here. Oddly the no response when the German pathologist recreated the crazy clots that all the ignorant embalmers were posting that was just their idiotic no knowledge or medical gurus.
I honestly hope these kooks hanging onto their guns and religion win. But no babies were killed to get those product to market. CEO/COO/CFO types were seen drinking the blood of babies.
Employees should force management to breathe pure H2O for an hour.

Looking at you, Carhartt.
FRAUDci & The FRoctors say it’s all a figment of your imagination.
Those that cited the CDC "guidelines" open up a whole new arena for fraud cases against the CDC, Fauxi, and ultimately vitiating the illegal Emergency Use Authorization.
It was a crime against humanity from the inception.
They were working on this plot 15 years ago.
They are many.
My wife worked at a local bank that was bought up by a small chain of banks. The president of the bank tried to get her to take the jab. He even told her that if she got it, I would not have to know. He got no where with that kind of reasoning, when asked if it was mandaory what would she do, she told him she would simply quit.
She wound up leaving the bank, is not the head cook at the local public school. Same pay per hour, equal insurance, less hours and month’s vacation in the summer. A lot less stress.
She does not bluff, nor do I. We both had this figured out early in this.
Yes, unless FRAUD is proven. Fraud vitiates everything. In that event they are exposed to be liable. They even thought of that. The Fed Gov paid the Drug companies via an intermediary shell company. That defense is probably not going to hold water. These are huge companies who committed huge crimes, against humanity.
One is thankful for your prescience in the matter.
I can't really claim to having it really figured out, but I did know there was something not right about it... the whole coercion thing that was going on was instructive. Being self-employed I was fortunate to not have an employer leaning on me about it.
I did, out of respect for other people's right to choose, make a couple of long drives to get some people to their local jab outlet to get theirs... after the second one, and no mention of me getting jabbed, that's when the uh, attempts to influence me began. Not with honey, either.
Fine. He can go get his boosters on his own. (Oops)
