for religious discrimination and wage theft. The suit is tied to the firefighters’ decision to not get vaccinated.
Gibbs spent more than a decade with Seattle Fire Department. Thinking back, he remembers as a child dressing up as a fireman on an elementary trip – it was a dream that stretched back to childhood. His path, however, took a long road: including stops in the military and construction before ultimately becoming a firefighter.
As the attorney writes, the 23 firefighters were given a choice that was against their religious beliefs: "disregard their sincerely held religious beliefs or lose their chosen professions and livelihoods." "We have reviewed the litigation and are preparing a response to the lawsuit on behalf of the City and Chief Scoggins," a statement read. "We would be happy to share a copy of our response once we file it."In August 2021, Gov. Jay Inslee issued a proclamation that all state employees, as well as K-12 and public university staff, had to be fully vaccinated by mid-October or get an exemption, or they would face termination.
