Each of the six will receive $1 million after they tried unsuccessfully to obtain religious exemptions from the San Francisco Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) during the "pandemic." According to ABC7 News, there were "hundreds" of BART employees who "felt like their vaccine exemption requests weren't taken seriously."
The lawsuit states that "109 employees" in total had requested a religious exemption but were denied. The ones who were fired as a result had their First Amendment rights infringed, as well as "federal and state anti-discrimination in employment laws."
While BART technically did grant "exemptions" to the COVID jab mandate, no accommodations were made. This rendered the exemptions virtually meaningless, hence why a lawsuit was later filed.
"The plaintiffs pointed out that an accommodation would have allowed them to work from home or regularly test for COVID before coming into work," LifeSiteNews reports. "Instead, they simply lost their jobs."

How many people lost their jobs for refusing COVID injections?
In 2021, ABC7 reporter J.R. Stone spoke with BART employees who were let go that year for refusing the jab. Some of them were involved in settlements while others have fought tooth and nail for justice against BART.
"I've been homeless before and this is what I told the BART board, you know," said Rhiannon Doyle. "I'm not afraid to be homeless again – it is what it is – but now they're tapping into people's rights and I'm not going to stand for that, not on my watch."
Another fired BART employee named Albert Roth said that he would not give in to BART's demands, "and there's a number of us that have the same opinion."
"We're not giving in," Roth added. "We're holding ground, holding firm on what our beliefs are."
The trial is still ongoing, but in this part the jurors were asked if BART had "proven that the plaintiff could not be reasonably accommodated without undue hardship," to which they ruled that this was "not proven by BART" with regard to the six former employees.
The same jury ruled that COVID shots presented a genuine conflict to the religious faith of the six fired BART employees who will now receive much-needed cash payouts for their losses.
"The rail employees chose to lose their livelihood rather than deny their faith," commented lead trial attorney Kevin Snyder.
"That in itself shows the sincerity and depth of their convictions. After nearly three years of struggle, these essential workers feel they were heard and understood by the jury and are overjoyed and relieved by the verdict."
In the comments, someone agreed that this was the right decision because nobody should be coerced into taking a medical procedure that they disagree with or that could harm them," especially an experimental procedure, without their informed consent."
"By the summer of 2021 at the latest, the FDA and CDC had actual knowledge that the experimental COVID-19 'vaccines' do not prevent infection or transmission of the disease," this commenter added. "Those agencies also had actual knowledge of credible reports that many tens of thousands of people died or suffered a debilitating injury after being vaccinated."
"The verdict in this case should be a start. Everyone who lost their job or who suffered a vaccine injury should be fully compensated, and all the organizations and individuals responsible for inflicting the COVID-19 public health catastrophe on the people should be held accountable."
