A U.S. appeals court panel seemed divided on Wednesday over whether a civilian Navy employee can challenge President Joe Biden's COVID-19 vaccine mandate for federal workers in court or must first go through an administrative process.
A federal judge in Washington, D.C., ruled in May that because Payne's claims related to workplace conditions, he was required to go through an administrative complaint process for federal civil servants before taking the case to court.
Circuit Judge Judith Rogers sounded skeptical. She noted that Payne has claimed that he was humiliated for not receiving the COVID-19 vaccine and was unable to carry out all of his job duties, while also arguing that he had not suffered any concrete harms that would trigger an administrative complaint.
Hamilton maintained that Payne had not suffered a concrete injury because he was never disciplined for refusing the vaccine. Winik said there are various avenues for federal workers to challenge illegal employment practices. And decisions from a federal civil service board can be appealed in court, allowing workers to seek backpay and reinstatement if they have been fired, Winik said.
