97% of San Jose city employees are vaccinated, according to a city spokesperson.

A former San Jose city employee is suing the city, alleging he was fired from his job as an informational technology manager over his religion, which he claims prevented him from getting vaccinated.

In October, Amir was one of 3 city employees who served a 40- hour suspension from their jobs for refusing to get vaccinated. Following the one-week paid suspension he received a subsequent unpaid one-week suspension and a notice of termination for refusing to get tested twice a week, as well as for the joke he made to his manager.

“Just logistically it was much harder to get tested after work because that was a time when the facility would be more busy, getting on the bus would be more busy,” she said of Amir, who doesn’t own a car and had to take public transit to county testing centers.
