Southwest airlines has now caved to employee backlash after attempting to impose a vaccine mandate on its employees.
As CNBC reports:
Southwest Airlines has scrapped a plan to put unvaccinated employees who have applied for but haven’t received a religious or medical exemption on unpaid leave starting by a federal deadline in December.
Southwest Airlines and American Airlines are among the carriers that are federal contractors and subject to a Biden administration requirement that their employees are vaccinated against Covid-19 by Dec. 8 unless they are exempt for medical or religious reasons. Rules for federal contractors are stricter than those expected for large companies, which will allow for regular Covid testing as an alterative to a vaccination.
Executives at both carriers in recent days have tried to reassure employees about job security under the mandate, urging them to apply for exemptions if they can’t get vaccinated for medical or for a sincerely held religious belief. The airlines are expected to face more questions about the mandate when they report quarterly results Thursday morning. Pilots labor unions have sought to block the mandates or sought alternatives like regular testing.Southwest’s senior vice president of operations and hospitality, Steve Goldberg, and Julie Weber, vice president and chief people officer, wrote to staff on Friday that if employees’ requests for an exemption haven’t been approved by Dec. 8, they could continue to work while following mask and distancing guidelines until the request has been reviewed.
The company is now extending its deadline until November 24th and will allow those who aren’t granted exemptions to continue working.
Not fair we people are having to go thru. Welcome to commie land. I never thought our country to go so low.
It only took democrat control to bring us to a new low.
May this become the precedent to a tidal wave. Power to the people!
I believe it could if people will only stand together and stop complying.
That’s for all issues. The government can only do what we allow
2022 vote the scum out of office.then change the LAW,
no more benefits for crooks.
Laws created by congress,applies to congress and the people,
per Constituiton
QUESTION HERE: DO YOU WANT VACINATED PILOTS IN THE COCKPIT “WHO LIKE THE PILOT OF THE SHOT GOT SICK AT 30+ THOUSAND FEET” and luck was with the CREW that the CO-PILOT GOT THEM DOWN SAFELY! AS FOR ME, NO WAY, AND NO MORE FLIGHTS WITH THE ” IDIOTS MANDATE ” IN THE WHITE HOUSE BASEMENT! TIME TO ARTICLE 25 HIM FOR INEPTATUDE TO MAKE SOUND JUDGMENTS HERE!
Everyone knows that the “vaccines” are not vaccinations at all, but gene therapy and you can still get the virus, just ask Colin Powell – Oh yeah, you can’t cause he died from covid-19. I have a real “vaccination” – that is, I had the virus which builds true immunity – but that doesn’t count in the new Socialist Republic of “America.” Zieg Heil Herr Biden.
I guess Southwest Airlines must decide if they want to be woke and comply with Bozo Biden’s unconstitutional vaccine mandate or run an airplane company. GO WOKE GO BROKE!!!!
Lets go Brandon!!!
How low can you go should only apply to the limbo. It is sad that it applies to the moron in the White House, his staff, big tech, left loons and the media.
It will be a blood bath for the dems in 2022.
Hypocritical that migrants get a bye on the vaccine and are released into our country, but if you are an American citizen you are mandated to get the vaccine or lose your job. While losing police, firemen and hospital personnel we the citizens are put in more jeopardy than we are from the unvaccinated. Biden meanwhile is unmasked in a public space. Mayor Light foot also mask less at a ballgame, so why preach to the rest of us?
If a hospital is firing employees for not being vaccinated, supporting the “one size fits all” health “care” mentality, do you really think they care about their patients and do what is right for them on an individual basis? I’ve been thinking about that. If one size fits all for vaccines, is there a one size fits all for the illnesses and other medical conditions at these hospitals? Is that the care you really want?
I hope those police, firemen, and hospital personnel find jobs that will support them in making their personal choices on vaccines.
This is about the government controlling you…Eventually there will be another government mandate that you won’t want to do…School board members are be holding to school unions…They should be strictly upholding the best interest of students…Good and caring parents go to these meetings because they’re kids are there…Every good instinct a parent has is to protect there children…The Gestapo school boards are labeling parents as terrorists while criminals are being released from jail to commit more crimes…Is this the United States we want ??? Not me…
Hey AAN can’t get to the Bumbley Joe appointee story…says your site is fown.
