Mine is denied. I wonder what medical conditions one needs to have in order to get their medical exemption approved?

Some local TE&Y have received either medical or religious exemptions. The religious one is purely based on how you answer their gotcha questions.
And....those gotcha questions resulting in denials WILL be the subject of an EEOC/Title 7 lawsuit you can rest assured...
There's actually quite a few places that don't require you to get the shot. There's a lot of places right now that are paying abnormally high wages to get people in. So leaving the railroad for a different job, really isn't all that bad anymore. I hate to say this, but a railroad wage isn't as high as some think it is. A railroad career in general, isn't as attractive as it used to be either. Think about it.
You on here telling everyone how well you get paid Mr hamburger flipper guy? We don’t all get paid the same. Most of us are here to get our months with RRB.
I went to see the UP nurse after eating a crock p-t full of Lima beans and she gave me a medical exemption before she finished the examination. I also put in for a religious exemption and it was approved as well. Praise the lord and pass the beans.
There is none your getting the shot
Only if you have an immune system disease that taking the vaccine would affect. If you have such a condition, you would not be working publicly anyway. The truth is nobody is getting a medical exemption. Quit spending your time on trying to get an exemption and either take the shot or find a job that doesn’t require it (good luck finding one, or one that pays anywhere close to what you make).
Good question, but what medical condition can you have to eliminate you from getting the shot versus getting removed from service? I'm sure the UP will come up with some other stupid idea to force folks to get the shot.
Now that your employer/care provider/God validator has confirmed that Michelle in HR knows what's best for you what's your next move going to be?
