(Reuters) –A U.S. federal court ruled on Monday that United Airlines Holdings Inc may impose a COVID-19 mandate on its employees. The COVID-19 mandate only allows for unpaid leave to workers who have been exempted from the vaccine requirement for religious or medical reasons.

U.S. District Judge Mark Pittman, Fort Worth, Texas rejected employees’ arguments that the airline had improperly placed them in an “impossible situation” by forcing them into choosing a vaccine or unpaid vacation.

Pittman was critical about United Airlines’ calloused approach to employees who seek religious exemptions. However, Pittman said that in the end the human resource policy was up and that no employee had been forced into accepting a vaccine.
