The Biden administration has told federal agencies that they generally should not require their employees to be vaccinated against the coronavirus to work on-site in federal buildings or to disclose whether they are vaccinated.
Employees who disclose they are unvaccinated or refuse to answer a voluntary question about vaccination status should be subject to safety requirements such as mask-wearing and social distancing, new guidance says.
“The Administration strongly encourages all Americans, including Federal employees and contractors, to be vaccinated,” says a Tuesday posting by an interagency task force overseeing pandemic-related policies for the federal workplace. However, “at present, COVID-19 vaccination should generally not be a pre-condition” for federal employees or contractors to work in person, it states, while not specifying possible exceptions.
The guidance is the latest evolving workplace policy regarding the 2.1 million-employee federal workforce as pandemic conditions ease and vaccination rates rise. It comes as the Biden administration is expected to release a broader policy about when and how federal employees can return to the office and remote work going forward.

According to the latest guidance, federal employees and contractors may voluntarily share information about their vaccination status, “but agencies should not require federal employees or contractors to disclose such information. Responding to agency inquiries should be voluntary” and agencies are to comply with legal requirements and bargaining obligations.
“When an employee or contractor voluntarily discloses that they are unvaccinated or declines to provide vaccination information, agencies should use that information to implement CDC-recommended mitigation measures, including masking and physical distancing,” it says.

But the HR department will still know, and retaliations will be done “invisibly”, with poor performance reviews, crap assignments, and generally being shunned by management, with little or no explanation or for specious reasons.
The idea is to make the workplace so toxic as to make the anti-vaxxer leave, but done in a nuanced way so it cannot be pinpointed to a particular cause, failure to get vaccinated.
Peoples’ lives are being made hell. Brutal wedge issues are on the verge of ruining our society. Wedge issues are by definition manufactured. They do not appear in nature. People do this.
Nailed it! This is how devious and criminal leftist democrats are. They are untrustworthy human and always tend towards totalitarianism.
I hope this government and its empire are destroyed soon, as they well deserve. The Demonrats are well on their way.
Nope: just lightening up for the summer before coming down harder than ever with the coming flu season: “at present”.
A clear majority of Americans are so suckered in they don’t even see the big picture, but far too many Freepers don’t either!
No, they are just waiting to get a clear enough majority vaccinated so they can have broader support when they mandate this stuff with the next flu season.
They could well have “special” vaccines for those who avoid it until it is outright mandated, given that the resisters are overwhelmingly minorities and MAGA types.
HEY JOE !!!
How about no requirement to buy and sell ....
and cruise ???
