Their apparel has been appropriated by the koolaid-colored hair millennial hipsters as part of the urban farmer trend.

This crowd will move on to the next big thing that is both shiny and woke and Carhartt will find themselves deeply in the red as they have turned their backs on their long-term customer base whose loyalty is only exceeded by their patriotism.

Get woke, go broke, yadda yadda yadda...

There is no liability for the decision. For a company it is a no brainer. Put back liability to the company for adverse effects and lawsuits will stop it. Or a few CEO’s die from the adverse effects.

Unlike the vax companies they have no gov exemption to block their liability. >>> I believe with the EUA they are not liable for adverse effects.

Their is a California court ruling, from way back, that connects employment and additionally, retirement accounts, to the employees ownership. That ruling is why public employees are so hard to terminate. The state ruled, workers were entitled to administrative justice process, before separation, and after separation an appeal process, because that impacts their retirement account.

It’s a complex argument, but watch someone make a similar argument here to beat the unilateral dismissal for not being vaccinated, because the vaccine may cause the death of the worker, and therefore the company was impacting the retirement account ownership of the worker by issuing the mandate.

“Why even have require employees be “vaccinated” when the “vaccinations” do not prevent people from contracting and transmitting the China Virus?”

The Achilles heal of the vax police.

The vax does not work.

Employers are between a rock and a hard place. You have a responsibility as an employer to provide a safe working environment for your employees.

Which useless masks and ineffective “vaccines” are not going to accomplish.

WRONG. I don’t have the company health care and they don’t have my info. Also, they would have to fire me as I will not go voluntarily.

Communists like you have no business here on FR. I don’t support banning you but really, you are in the wrong place.

Thank you. We have all been healthy through this until she got hit. Told her to follow the Front Line group’s prevention protocol even though she got the shot. Rough day yesterday, but showing slight improvement today.

I am sorry that’s happened.

Do you know how they are treating her pneumonia? NAC with glycine helps restore glutathione, which is severely depleted in that condition.

“core value”

It’s as if they just fill in a template.

Upper management have all sorts of fads they create or buy into to make themselves appear to be doing something. Remember "TEAMS" and "Paradyn Shift" sometimes these fads destroy the company like Montgomery Ward and K-Mart.

I hope she gets well, soon!

YOU NEVER EVEN READ WHAT I POSTED. NOTICE I WROTE THIS:

“That changed with Hipaa when employers could no longer see your health info.”

______________________________________________________

1. I am 100% for hipaa. I never liked when employers saw the employees health information and I was a health insurance broker

2. As for companies requiring the vaccine. Their company their rules. Don’t like it ..leave. That is capitalism. If I was a communist I would force you to take the shot.

I do not give a hoot if you have the shot or not.

I looked up the Carhartt CEO on Open Secrets and he donated to Biden in 2020.

Imagine my surprise that a woke CEO donated to Jao Bai Den.

Phone call yesterday with a polite gentleman. Email today. Guess what? My 90 year old relative got Moderna 2x and Moderna 1x and then later got covid. Benedryl helped. Her doctor said Claritin is better. Yup, vaccines are useless. Carhart is ancient history like the telegraph.

Thank you!! She knows of NAC, but I know she isn’t in a state of mind to be her normal in charge self. Things were not good yesterday, slightly improved today.

I’ve added Nigella Sativa to the prevention protocol of supplements I take. Can NAC be taken preventatively?

From news reports it appears that Carhartt is more WOKE than Starbuck’s.

Geesh!

Who knew?

I thought Carhartt was like alpha and it was Starbuck’s that was a snowflake.
