Boeing makes COVID-19 vaccines mandatory for U.S. employees Or Get Fired
2021-10-14
[GlobalNews] The Boeing Co. has told employees they must be vaccinated against COVID-19 or possibly be fired.

The Seattle Times reports the deadline for workers at the aerospace giant is Dec. 8.

Same for Ball Aerospace.
Courtesy of 746, the Seattle Times has a great deal more here.

Southwest CEO says he never wanted a Covid vaccine mandate but Biden forced his hand
[CNBC] "I’ve never been in favor of corporations imposing that kind of a mandate. I’m not in favor of that," Southwest Airlines CEO Gary Kelly told CNBC on Tuesday.
However, Kelly said, the Dallas-based carrier is complying with federal rules put in place by the Biden administration.
"The objective here, obviously, is to improve health and safety, not for people to lose their jobs," he said.

You must display your Vaccine status publicly…
[CitizenFreePress] Employees with religious or medical exemptions can still work at NCH Healthcare System despite the vaccine policy, but those we spoke to aren’t not happy about how they’re perceived.

Unvaccinated employees are being required to reveal their vaccination status to others. Three nurses we spoke to have collectively put in close to 65 years at NCH. But all of that hard work almost came to a stop when the hospital system announced its vaccination policy.

#7  Where is boeing going?

They have been angling for South Carolina for a while. They built a whole new plant there and it is a much friendlier business right to work state with lower taxes.

#6  IIRC, the last time Boeing tried to extricate themselves from Washington the NLRB stepped in and said, nah.

#5  They didn't start there. Most of the aircraft manufacturing was on the West Coast. Boeing got Washington to fund a big build there after Pearl Harbor, beyond carrier range.

#3  It's a game as Boeing is clearing out of Washington state. Using Covid as a excuse for the nanny state to refuse unemployment benefits.

#2  BTW: Unless "21 U.S. Code 360bbb" as changed regarding experimental products, you may have a legal right to refuse.

[21 U.S.C. § 360bbb-3(e)(A)(ii)(III)] says that any person administering a vaccine - that is, any healthcare provider-must tell the person being vaccinated that they have the option to accept or refuse the vaccine and the consequences, if any, of ...

"Emergency Use Authorization" means that any product with this designation must be voluntary.

Hint: To anyone owning Boeing Co. stock....

Given a number of US court rulings acknowledging exemptions and exceptions to the VAX Mandate. Boeing can expect a lot of Lawsuits in the coming months.

A wave of Lawsuits does not help any company's P&L bottom line.
