Many staff members and reporters at the network have been very outspoken critics of mandates.
According to a report from Mediaite, Newsmax cited the implementation of COVID rules by Occupational Health and Safety Administration (OSHA) as their excuse for caving in.
“To ensure that we are in compliance, we require that all vaccinated employees submit a copy of their vaccination card,” the email, obtained by Mediaite, informed staff.
Newsmax host Steve Cortes ranted against mandates on Thursday’s episode of his show, the same day that they were notified about the new requirements at the network.
“There is zero, and I mean zero, moral or ethical obligation for anyone to be compelled to get vaccinated,” Cortes said. He added that mandates are “insane workplace discrimination.”
Employees at the network have until Jan. 4, 2022 to be fully vaccinated, or else they will be required to take a weekly COVID test.
“or else they will be required to take a weekly COVID test.”
Just read between the lines. No mandatory shots just proof of negative testing. They’re running a fine line between buckling to government pressure and losing Steve Kelly-or is it John? Either way it’s not exactly brave. Descretion vs. valor. Like the FNC-you decide.
That’s exactly right.
I see huge push back with their wanting to vax children.
true but it’s in the title... that’s why i said they could no longer even make the pretense
Where are all these test kits coming from? I bought several for a trip to Spain (one is required to return to the US). Later when I checked the same company’s website, you could only get on a waiting list! A second company also sold out. Glad I bought in advance!
I’m in Spain now and must take the test shortly, while being monitored by the company via video. Thanks, Brandon! 🙄. Just to know in advance, I did a spare test yesterday on my own and it was negative. Fun trip but the Covid requirements are a pain.

No consequence for overreach, and they get paid the same no matter what.
OSHA decided C19 is a grave workplace hazard.
The government is vile. This isn't mere stupidity, this is abuse.
Take a look at ethylene oxide (nasal swabs are sterilized,with it) and see if you are comfortable sticking that up your nose repeatedly for the rest of the forseeablee future
Haven’t you seen the ratings dump that happened to fox during the election s and right after? They dropped quite a bit actually. We dumped them when they called Arizona for Biden. We had been very c,one to dumping them before then because of their anti-trump crap, and because they were hiring more and more rabid .iberals on fox, but didn’t have anywhere to go for co servitude news on the TV, but when they pulled that crap election day, that was it
This is exactly like a husband abusing their wife.
While he beats her he calmly explains to her that it is her fault.
Disgusting.
3M is Now Firing the Unvaccinated! Let Mike.roman@mmm.com Know Your Thoughts…
Yup
OAN solely it is, then. FNM.
A year ago 🙄
Somewhere in OSHA, someone is laughing hysterically.
Sure, but who pays for it? That's the problem.
Maybe some Freeper lawyers can correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe the weekly tests are required to be offered on company premises on company time so unvaccinated workers can be paid for their time while they're being tested. So a lot of companies are saying "Eff it" and just terminating unvaccinated workers.
“It’s for your own good.”
No sense in trying to reason with them.
From the article:
“He added that mandates are “insane workplace discrimination.”
In order to be eligible for anti-discrimination protection, he would have to prove that his unvaccinated status is an immutable characteristic rather than a voluntary choice. Good luck with that. This is the end result of at-will employment conservatives championed like mad in the Reagan years.
Employees: My body, my choice
Employers: My personnel budget, my choice
