The media has largely ignored the pushback Joe Biden is receiving or his vaccine/testing mandate.
Just one call out over a weekend brought Southwest airlines to its knees however, it’s not just Southwest Airlines.
Amtrak had to cancel trains because of a “staffing issue,” shipbuilding employees in Newport News are promising to to crush production over the mandate.
Workers for the ship building company Huntington Ingalls are furious over the mandate that they must be vaccinated by December 8th. A letter from COOO Chris Kastner informed employees that if they don’t get vaccinated they could lose their jobs which incited protests.
A group gathered last Friday protesting the mandate and only 59% of shipbuilders are vaccinated. Should Huntington Ingalls follow through with Joe Biden’s mandate it would cripple the shipbuilding industry.
In Washington State there has been “unprecedented” disruptions because of “staffing shortages.”
The Samish, which is one of three vessels serving the Anacortes- San Juan Islands was taken out of service after 28 workers called out.
State Ferries spokesperson Ian Sterling reported that 230 employees have not complied with the State’s vaccintion mandate which has crippled the ferry system.
“We still have time before the 18th. We don’t know what the full impact will be and how many people will choose to leave state employment,” Sterling said.
The ferry system is the only “viable way off the islands for most people” and the staffing shortage is going to cause a crisis in the area.
The union representing pilots for American Airlines has warned the company they may end up in the same boat as Southwest Airlines during the holiday seasons if they don’t start accepting exemptions. “Some of APA’s members are unable to undergo vaccination for documented medical reasons, while others are reluctant to get vaccinated based upon concerns about the potential for career-ending side effects,” read the Sept. 24 letter.
“All of those members are still able to perform their duties as professional pilots,” the letter continued. “To force those pilots out of their positions, rather than offering viable alternatives will have adverse consequences upon their families and the airline industry as a whole.”
Staff must prove they have been vaccinated by November 24 – the day before Thanksgiving – or they can be fired.
OAN reporter Jack Posobiec has learned that the White House is feeling the heat and Secretary Pete’s phone has been ringing off the hook.
There is a massive wave of pushback that is being ignored by the media below are posts from government employees and an airline pilot pushing back.
The whole country needs to go on strike!
Joe doesn’t care. He has Air Force One, Marine One and a Fleet of limousines to take him wherever he and his friends and handlers want to go.
The rest of us, can starve and freeze in the dark wherever we happen to be stuck this week; It is all part of the plan.
Let’s go Brandon!
They set a vax deadline to the day before Thanksgiving? Busiest travel day of the year?
October 19 sounds like a good day to me.
Bring them to their knees.
It will be painful for all but that seems to be the only alternative.
Take the jab or lose your job. Neither are good choices.
I agree, ABSOLUTELY!! WE THE PEOPLE must assert our constitutional rights!!!!!-
We’re gonna need a bigger bag of popcorn
Read later.
We’re at war.
We should call Congress critters and tell them to stop the mandates.
The democrats and Biden will be thrilled. The more America, and the world, hurts the better for them. They want us to suffer to show they are in charge and only they can help us. They want us on our knees. Will it work? Well, look at the chomo who drools on the Resolute Desk. He is there and the world suffers. And the idiot democrats vote for it. I a, not optimistic.
Yup. I said a long time ago that we'd never see the issue that finally sent us over the edge coming.
General Strike!
What a shame. I knew Chris Kastner from Huntington Ingalls 25 years ago, when I was a young pup in the AF and he was with Northrop Grumman in Melbourne, FL. Our wives socialized. He was a great guy then. Either he changed, or he’s doing the bidding of the CEO and Executive Management Team. Either way, sad.
Brandon should take all the jabs no one will take. Come on Joe, do at least one thing for the country!
Heh, I was working next to an airport several years ago.
Biden had landed and I couldn’t go out to lunch because the troopers had the road blocked for him. So there went part of my lunch hour.
Right when I got off work (consulting at a client) I saw the C-17 takeoff with the limo. I watched it bank south-southwest. Ho-hum. Into the car for the nearly hour drive back home. But the C-17 takeoff was the best part that shift.
Where are the GOP? It is not as if they have no power! If they do nothing they are complicit! Just as they were complicit in the steal.
Why bother?
My understanding is that Congress is exempt from the mandate!
The one thing that WILL work is a strike stopping the truck shipment of ALL groceries into the Washington DC area.
I said this a couple of months ago
