The lawsuits of several former MGM Resorts International employees claiming they were wrongfully terminated after refusing to receive a COVID-19 vaccine are likely to be consolidated by a federal judge this week.
Six independent complaints filed in the U.S. District Court of Nevada between December 2022 and July 2024 allege that the casino operator wrongfully terminated employees who refused the mandatory vaccine requirement due to religious objections. Three of the complaints have already been consolidated at the request of both parties. Following the filings of two additional complaints on July 10, a federal judge will consider combining the new complaints with the existing joint filing.
