Letter to the editor: Requiring vaccine is unconstitutional

In response to the article “Nursing shortage spawns hefty sign-on bonuses in Western Pa.”: Do you think just maybe employers should stop requiring the jab as a requirement for employment? These nurses worked through the height of this pandemic and were hailed as heroes. Now their personal freedoms and choices are being taken away along with their jobs if they don’t “conform.” It is unconstitutional.

I wouldn’t work for these employers no matter what their incentives. Lives, freedoms and personal choices are more important than money.

It’s not just nurses that are affected. It could be every line of work — doctors, police officers, teachers … . Be careful what you force on your employees. Not everyone is willing to sell their soul or risk their life for a political agenda.

No one should be forced into getting the jab.
