A group of state troopers suspended without pay for not receiving the COVID-19 vaccine due to religious beliefs can return to work, an independent arbitrator has ruled.Massachusetts State Police did not have the right to claim it couldn’t accommodate the request of eight troopers who sought religious exemptions to the vaccine mandate because of “undue hardship,” Arbitrator Bonnie J. McSpiritt determined in a ruling Friday.Seven of the eight troopers have been suspended since October 2021, when former Gov. Charlie Baker’s COVID vax requirement for state employees went into effect. One trooper had already returned to his position upon receiving the vaccination before McSpiritt announced her stance.State Police Association of Massachusetts President Patrick McNamara, in a statement, said he alerted his seven union members on Friday that they can return to work.
