Tyson Foods is evil.

Tyson Foods issued a vaccine mandate for its employees.  It originally tried to deny people religious accommodations, and originally told them that pro-life beliefs are not real religious beliefs.  They realized they were going to get sued over that and it was going to cause lots of political trouble, so they reversed course on that.  But their way of giving people religious, or medical accommodations, was to constructively terminate them.  Put them on unpaid leave for one year.  So I filed suit in Dyre County, Tennessee.  We served Tyson very quickly and gave them the courtesy of responding before we filed our request for an injunction.  Went through the process of scheduling it through the court.  The court took time out to make sure the schedule worked.  We met our part of the schedule, and we filed a motion for a preliminary injunction on Friday morning, and then Friday at the close of business, Tyson Foods sent notice that they have removed the case to Federal court, even though there's no grounds.  It's a patently frivolous motion to Notice of Removal.  Tyson knew that a federal court would take too long to rule on remanding it back to state court such that it will be past the timeline for employees to get vaccinated.  So they did this knowing that I had had a call with their counsel.  No surprise, a big Federalist Society, the lawyer that represents them, Greg Grisham,

And more.
