The CEO of Southwest Airlines said Tuesday that he never wanted to mandate the COVID-19 vaccine for his employees and admitted his company will only violate the privacy and liberty of tens of thousands of workers because President Joe Biden forced his hand.

Gary Kelly told CNBC that any company mandate is all on the federal government.

“I’ve never been in favor of corporations imposing that kind of a mandate. I’m not in favor of that. Never have been,” Kelly said.

“But the executive order from President Biden mandates that all federal employees and then all federal contractors, which covers all the major airlines, have to have a mandate in place by Dec. 8, so we’re working through that.”

“My goal, obviously, is that no one loses their job. The objective here, obviously, is to improve health and safety, not for people to lose their jobs,” Kelly added.

Totally misleading headline. Kelly is enforcing the mandate.

[exnavy]

That’s what the nazi’s said, too. If it is wrong, do not do it.

[fruser1]

which covers all the major airlines

My mistake for referring to them as commercial flights.

I never knew I had been taking federal flights.

[CodeToad]

Trust me on this, NO EXECUTIVE gives a rats ass about jobs. None. He gets a profit bonus based on target profit numbers. These walkouts are killing his bonus.

[pfflier]

Executive order? Not codified yet. Still time to take a stand.

[teeman8r]

What executive order? You are allowed to refuse an unconstitutional dictate.

let’s go brandon and eff joe biden.

Then stop vaccinations until OSHA actually published the law and then fight it in court and lose before you force vaccinations.

Grow a pair ! But NO, southwest has big gov contracts they don’t want to lose.

I’ve seen his photo in the Southwest Airlines magazines...either it’s an old photo or his hair has gotten white very recently. He may be waking up to the fact that the Biden mandate may destroy his company.

[nickcarraway]

Has Biden actually legally forced his hand, or it’s just a Jedi mind trick?

[Caipirabob]

Yeap, we can discuss pros and cons all day, but at the end of the day this needs to be a free adult citizen's personal decision. This totalitarian BS needs to be shut down hard.

I mean HARD...

“...the executive order from President Biden mandates...”
___

I’m not aware that the _resident has issued an executive order. A mandate does not a law make.

[rigelkentaurus]

Federal contracts to SWA is only about 3% of revenue. I would think it would be better to eliminate that contract and get on with running an airline properly.

[Little Ray]

But no Mandate has been published, and no regulations from OSHA have been issued.
But still businesses are jumping all over themselves to comply with what Biden said in a speech.

[Psalm 73]

"Then stop vaccinations until OSHA actually published the law..."

Two different things:
The companies w/ more than 100 employees issue (OSHA-related) - is different from the companies working on Federal contracts issue (defense contractors).

True story. They only sweat when margins are threatened.
