Imo, I do not think State workers should be automatically reinstated to their former jobs after being fired for not vaccinating. I do think they should have the opportunity to apply for job openings with the State and have their former employment considered an asset when HR is going through applications, however. As a State employee at the time myself, I had to make a choice I did not want to have to make but I ultimately chose to keep my job. They chose to give their position up at the time. The consequence is that they should be considered over others without experience with the State but should still apply for current openings as any other person would. People who chose to vaccinate and then fill those positions of terminated employees should be given the option to stay in the position or move to a preferred open position if it is decided that the non-vaccinated terminated employees are given the option to return to employment without applying. There should not be a punishment for those employees that complied with a mandate and got hired. It would be a punishment for them to be moved to a non-preferred job or terminated in favor of those who chose to leave their jobs.
Not only should they be given the opportunity to be reinstated, they should be compensated for being fired without cause. The State, nor the Federal government has the right to tell anyone to take an experimental drug that is not a vaccination. It was a poor decision at all levels.
