United Airlines pilot says she's blocked from finding job or accessing 401k for refusing vaccine

I am prohibited from getting another job. I'm prohibited from accessing my 401(k),' one United pilot says.

A United Airlines captain who is on unpaid leave for not complying with her company’s vaccine mandate says she has been locked out of her 401(k) and is prohibited from finding another job.

"I am out on unpaid leave. I am prohibited from getting another job. I'm prohibited from accessing my 401(k). I have no medical benefits, and I'm leading the charge in this fight, so my days are consumed," United pilot Sherry Walker, co-founder of Airline Employees 4 Health Freedom, told the Daily Signal while attending the "Defeat the Mandates" march in Washington, D.C., on Sunday.

....

she is considered an "active employee" after being put on unpaid leave for not complying with the airline’s vaccine mandate in November.

"That means that they can call us back with two weeks' notice at any given time, they can just grab us and pull us back. But because we're active, we haven't had a qualified lifestyle change. So Schwab, which owns our 401(k) accounts, refuses to let anyone access them," Walker told Fox.

...

Walker, who has been flying since she was 18 and has worked in the industry since 1998, is spearheading the fight against the vaccine mandates among airline employees, including with a legal battle.

"While we believe our employer has the right to have a mandate, they are obligated under Title VII to give us reasonable accommodations. And right now we're fighting in the Fifth Circuit Court in New Orleans to wait a judgment to see if we will succeed in a preliminary injunction or if we will continue on the unreasonable accommodation of indefinite unpaid leave

Why is she prohibited from finding another job? Is she a slave?

It might not stop transmission, but it does decrease it and decrease the length of illness.
***Then it is a TREATMENT, not a VACCINE. Treatments do not get EUA liability protection.

The Daily Mail says it is because of the company's strict non-compete clause.

I’m not vaxxed, came down with COVID two days ago and started on the Ziverdo pack immediately. I’m pretty much normal now, less than 48 hours later.

There may be a “non-compete” clause in her contract.

It's not. In fact it's highly illegal and employers have been successfully sued for trying to pull this. (Government and Military pensions are a different matter) I hope this person gets a good lawyer and sues the ba11s off of them

Sure she does. A dictating company always suppresses the ability of someone to earn a living in their field of expertise.
Non-compete agreements should be outlawed in this country.

I don’t just get information from the Internet. I’m in the Moderna phase 3 trial. I get information from the doctors running the trial.

Oh, that's rich.

For two weeks post shot you are at far worse risk. At six months post shot you cross back over into negative efficacy again. The purpose of the shot is to hook you into needing another one every six months for the rest of your life.
