RENTON, Wash. - 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.
"Compliance with these requirements is a condition of employment," states a Boeing internal presentation from Tuesday viewed by the newspaper. "Employees who are unable to meet these requirements ... may be released from the company."
Employees can request exemptions "due to a disability or sincerely held religious belief." Any employee granted such an exemption will have to "undergo frequent testing for COVID-19" and be ready to "present a negative test result upon request."
The policy will apply to roughly 140,000 employees company-wide, with about 57,000 of those in Washington state.

Jon Holden, president of International Association of Machinists (IAM) District 751, in his message to members in the October issue of the union paper, wrote that "the reality is our members are polarized on this issue."
"It is our responsibility to defend and advocate for all our members," Holden added. And though he noted that he and his family are vaccinated, the union must also defend "those who can’t or won’t accept the vaccine."
The white-collar union, the Society of Professional Engineering Employees in Aerospace (SPEEA), said in a statement Tuesday it is engaging with Boeing "to ensure implementation gives proper consideration to members’ concerns."
Boeing may face more resistance to the new policy in Republican-controlled states.
On Monday, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott issued an executive order barring private companies or any other entity from requiring vaccines.
Boeing has more than 5,000 employees in Texas. It has about 32,000 more at facilities in Alabama, Arizona, Missouri, Oklahoma and South Carolina.

Ever since Boeing moved HQ to Chiraq, their legitimacy has been suspect. [See 737 Max...]
when you get laid off because of covid in washington you are not eligible for unemployment, per the mandate of Failed Presidential Candidate Inslee.
Say what you will about the Biden, Inslee might possibly have been as bad.

Bingo…….wait til the shareholders start getting angry. Wait til Boeing has to stop production, cancel order and Airbus gets to pick up the slack.
Someone needs to remember where the hospital board lives.
He’s the one that didn’t know ANTIFA was destroying Seattle even though he was just a hop, skip and a jump, south in Olympia.
“Ever since Boeing moved HQ to Chiraq, their legitimacy has been suspect.”
Boeing is going to find their HQ enjoying a surplus of office space soon.

Could Wuhan be the Mark of the Beast? Can buy or sell. Can’t work. Heck, can’t even get a life saving transplant because the deceased donor had not been vaxed at CLEVELAND CLINIC.
Maybe Boeing should focus its efforts on building aircraft that don’t have design flaws, not forging test results, and designing spacecraft that will be operational before the end of the 21st century.
Boeing’s bread and butter is Federal contracts.
Getting to be pretty good proof of a corrupt company - one that bends over and assumes the Obama position to whomever.
Sorta like the new Supergay guy.
These companies are being ordered to do this. No way this is just random. That Globalist prick Klaus Schaub is behind all this garbage.
Raytheon Technologies is going woke too. Mandatory vaccines, no testing option, medical and religious exemptions nearly impossible to get.
Boeing is a federal contractor, not only the commercial airline part of the business but also defense applications. They are being ordered to do this, not by some global corporate conspiracy, but via EO 14042 and it’s implementation in FAR 52.223-99.
People need to not use the religious exemption, it is still tyrannical even with the get out of jail free card. Quit, it is John Galt time.
Wonder how many will leave.
