Company Fires 150 Employees for Not Getting Flu Shots

November 26th, 2012

Via: WLWT:

One of Cincinnati’s largest employers fired approximately 150 employees Wednesday for failing to get a required flu shot.

TriHealth offered all of its 10,800 employees free flu shots. Employees had a month to get the flu shot. The deadline was Nov. 16. Employees who did not get the shot were terminated Wednesday, a company spokesperson said.

    It was an “offer” they couldn’t refuse. But it was free!

    Wouldn’t “mandated” or “demanded for continued employment” describe the situation more accurately? Then WLWT makes it sound benevolent because they didn’t have the cost withheld from their paychecks. Sheesh.
