SEATTLE — (AP) — 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.”

November and December are going to be wild rides.
It is going to be a long cold winter under pfascism.
Have these dip$h!t$ not been paying attention???
they really are demanding to destroy the us economy
one of weekend at bidens goals
Boeing has been trying to destroy itself. This will do it as Boeing is facing major recruiting and retention issues already.
It might be getting ready to heat up.
On what authority are they committing these massive civil rights violations? They must believe they will be protected from lawsuits going forward which also means they are confident there will never be a conservative President or congress again.
It’s this that concerns me most of all. Evil acting with impunity is serious.
This is a country where the highest court ruled that abortion is a civil right, protected by the constitution. It has many additional evils under its belt. With impunity.
“Boeing has been trying to destroy itself.”
It appears that way. At the rate they’re wrecking the country and economy, nobody will be flying anyway.
Boeing has a large percentage of older execs and managers who can retire. They stopped caring long ago.
Remember when the pro vax people told us not to worry, there would never be a mandate? Yea that didn’t age well did it.
Those shitbirds are never on these threads.
They’re cowards.
Boeing should be renamed ‘Owing’ once the lawsuits are settled and they have to pay billions.
Yep but they sure are quick to crap all over any thread that is looking into side effects. Cowards is right, hiding from all the consequences of their push to jab the world.
well eff that
Not saying much about why I know. They WILL NOT apply this to black employees. Especially in the engineering department.
Bet they don’t.
I’d have to tell them to pack sand.
Refuse. Resist. Solidarity.
We need a national General Strike to bring down this illegal and illegitimate DC junta of election thieves. Pilots are in, Medical people are in, we can get oil and pipeline people in, now Boeing guys, throw in the truckers, etc etc.
Bring his criminal enterprise down.
“Boeing has a large percentage of older execs and managers who can retire. They stopped caring long ago”.
And that is rampant throughout the corporate world.
