A “Defeat the Commandments” rally in downtown Los Angeles on Sunday afternoon attracted thousands of protesters and a number of speakers who shared their stories about refusing to obey COVID-19 vaccine orders.
Among the many speakers was United Airlines pilot Sherry Walker, who says she was forced into unpaid leave and barred from accessing her 401 (k) benefits because of her refusal to get the vaccine.
United Airlines did not respond to FOX Business.

Walker, with the help of two others, led more than 2,000 United Airlines employees to sue the company for “discrimination and retaliation against the unvaccinated and forced them on unpaid leave.”
The courts ruled in February, but Walker, through the Airline Employees 4 Health Freedom (AE4HF), the organization he co-founded, is helping airline employees return to work. She said her case was not over.

The company released an internal memo late last month saying more than 2,000 employees with an approved Reasonable Request (RAP) request would be able to return to their normal positions.
The day event featured a wide range of speakers from doctors, musicians, actors, journalists, law enforcement officials and students who led the struggle to return to personal learning.
