Hershey Company begins firing unvaccinated employees
The Hershey Company has begun terminating employees who opted not to receive the COVID-19 vaccination.
Alongside their termination, employees are asked to sign a nine-page confidentiality agreement that would waive their rights to sue the company or talk about their experiences with the company.
The agreement Hershey wants employees to sign prohibits them from discussing the agreement’s existence, terms, and conditions and contains a non-disparagement clause preventing employees who sign the agreement from speaking out.
If Hershey employees sign the agreement, they will receive a “special separation payment” determined by an algorithm that some employees say comes out to just over two months’ pay. Many employees are refusing to sign the agreement and subsequently will not receive the severance payment. – READ MORE
