No Unemployment Benefits if You’re Fired for Vaccine Refusal


Two major league all-star baseball pitchers who worked with the MLB Network have left their in-studio jobs rather than submit to a mandatory COVID-19 vaccine imposed on all MLB Network employees.

John Smoltz and Al Leiter will work remotely through the end of the 2021 season, although Smoltz is still scheduled to call a game on-site in October.

In other news Nationals executive Bob Boone and two scouts are on suspension and will be terminated if they’re not vaccinated by September 15, 2021. The Nationals have placed all unvaccinated employees on leave until they take the shot or get a medical exemption to it. Boone told the New York Post he would leave rather than capitulate.
