3M Prevails in Religious Bias Vaccination Case, Citing Undue Hardship

MMM
October 04, 2025

A federal judge sided with 3M in a religious bias vaccination case, ruling that the company successfully demonstrated undue hardship in accommodating an unvaccinated former employee. The decision supports 3M's workplace policies.

The company established that it would become less competitive if employees who promote its medical devices were unable to work in person at healthcare facilities. This competitive disadvantage was a key factor in the court's ruling.

This legal outcome reinforces 3M's ability to implement and enforce policies deemed necessary for its business operations and market standing, particularly in sensitive sectors like medical devices.
