Hershey Not Only Fires Unvaxxed Employees But Asks Them to Sign 9-Page Agreement to Stay Silent

The Hershey Co. enacted a COVID-19 vaccine requirement for employees and now the company is firing employees who have not complied.

Hershey announced its vaccine mandate for salary employees in August, and it went into effect on Oct. 4.

Not only is Hershey firing employees who did not comply, but it is also asking the employees on the way out the door to sign a nine-page confidentiality and release agreement that would remove their rights to sue the company and to talk about their experience there, The Epoch Times reported on Monday.

"To support this, the company sponsored multiple vaccination clinics and allowed employees to seek accommodations for religious or medical reasons. The company has engaged in an interactive process with our employees to evaluate when an accommodation with regard to vaccination status is needed or warranted," the Hershey representative said, according to WHTM. But then the company fired those who were unvaccinated and tried to entice them to not sue the company or talk about what happened.

If employees did not want to be vaccinated, Hershey tried to force their hand in a personal, private medical decision in which a company should have no say.

Hershey is not the only company firing unvaccinated employees.

Many fired employees from Hershey reportedly did not sign the confidentiality and release agreement.
