WALLA WALLA COUNTY, Wash. – A group of Washington State employees has filed a lawsuit against Governor Inslee’s COVID vaccine mandate.
The Northwest News Network says the lawsuit was filed late last week by nearly 100 workers in Walla Walla County.
The group includes Washington State troopers, correctional officers, and other public service workers.
In the lawsuit, the group claims that the threat of being fired for not getting the COVID vaccine stands without reason.
A spokesperson for the governor says they believe the vaccine requirements are legal and necessary to save lives.
