(Reuters) – Three unions representing workers at Union Pacific Corp filed lawsuits against the U.S. railroad operator’s move to make vaccines mandatory under a deadline imposed by the Biden administration for federal contractors.
In response, Union Pacific said it filed a countersuit against the unions, saying the action was necessary to prevent any disruption of its rail network.
The lawsuits were filed in the U.S. District Court in Northern Illinois.
