First responders fight vaccine mandate
First responders—includ-
ing some in Jefferson
County—are challenging the
state of Oregon’s vaccine
mandate.
The first responders have
taken the matter to court,
posting plans to defy the or-
der. They also wrote to Gov.
Brown, informing her they
won’t be enforcing mandates
in their jurisdictions.
In Jefferson County, doz-
ens of firefighters, the Fra-
ternal Order of Police and
State Troopers filed suit in the
county court.
The lawsuit alleges the
governor’s decision to man-
date state employees get the
covid vaccine by October 18,
or lose their jobs, violates the
state and federal constitu-
tions.
The suit came two days
after a trooper in Bend was
placed on leave.
“I’ll likely get fired for
this,” Trooper Zachary
Kowing said.
In a social media video,
Kowing sits in uniform, in his
patrol car and blasts the gov-
ernor, her mandate and any-
one who gets the vaccine ‘out
of fear.’
By mid-last week Oregon
State Police had placed
Kowing on paid leave pend-
ing an investigation.
Portland attorney Dan
Thenell is representing
Kowing, as well as the plain-
tiffs in last week’s Jefferson
County lawsuit. He said the
cases are separate, but the
point is clear.
“There are many troopers
who are not going to get this
vaccine and are prepared to
lose their job over this,”
Thenell said.
He’s hoping it won’t come
to that.
The lawsuit argues the
governor’s vaccine mandate,
among other things, violates
rights to free expression, un-
der the Oregon and U.S. con-
stitutions.
Thenell
calls
the
governor’s executive order
“unlawful” and says even
amid a global pandemic, la-
bor unions should have been
allowed to negotiate.
The governor’s executive
power, even amid an emer-
gency like a global pandemic,
doesn’t trump bargaining
rights when it comes to con-
ditions of employment, the
attorney said.
Pushback against vaccine
mandates is also mounting
nationwide. In Oregon,
nurses in Tualatin have ral-
lied against the requirement.
The Portland Police Associa-
tion has warned that offic-
ers, under a mandate by the
city, will resign over it. And
last month, Columbia
County Sheriff Brian Pixley
told Gov. Brown he won’t
enforce vaccine or mask
mandates, writing in an open
letter, “We have had enough
of your overreaching man-
dates and bullying threats.”
