Listen "The DA’s Double Standard"
Episode Synopsis
This week on First Liberty Live! we are talking about how religious discrimination impacts employees of faith in the workplace.
When the Philadelphia District Attorney’s office issued a vaccine mandate, Assistant DA Rachel Spivack requested a religious accommodation. Her Orthodox Jewish faith prohibits her from receiving any vaccines.
The DA’s office denied Rachel’s request and fired her for failing to comply with their mandate. But 11 other staff members were allowed to continue working without being vaccinated.
Attorney Lea Patterson lays out the outrageous details of Rachel’s case and explains how we’re defending her.
