Rocco & DeWolfe Obtain Defense Verdict in Religious Harassment and Discrimination Case in Arbitration

Dean Rocco (Partner-Los Angeles, CA) and Jack DeWolfe (Associate-Los Angeles, CA) obtained a defense verdict on a religious harassment and discrimination case in arbitration. The plaintiff nurse alleged her employer, a health care facility, wrongfully denied her request for an exemption to its COVID-19 vaccine mandate and harassed her based on her asserted religious beliefs. Dean and Jack established that alleged comments at work did not constitute unlawful harassment, and the circumstances surrounding the employer's original denial of the exemption request, combined with its eventual reversal of that decision, did not constitute a failure to accommodate the employee's religious beliefs or provide grounds for the employee to quit and sue for constructive wrongful termination.
