Southwest drops plan to put unvaccinated staff on unpaid leave starting in December
CNBC ^ | Leslie Josephs | Leslie Josephs

Southwest scrapped a plan to put unvaccinated workers with pending exemptions on unpaid leave after the Dec. 8 deadline. Both American and Southwest require their new-hire employees to show proof of Covid-19 vaccination before their first day. Large airlines are federal contractors and subject to a Biden administration order that requires their employees to be vaccinated or receive an exemption for medical or religious reasons.

Doesn’t sound like they kicked the can down the street very far.

Let’s see what other shenanigans SWA pulls out to punish the Purebloods. They are starting from the premise that all employees must be jabbed because of a speech Biden gave. No law, no OSHA reg ... just a speech.

We found out who has the balls. Time for other companies to feel the heat.

When you win, but you’re still working for idiots.

this tells me that SWA leadership knows something we don’t, such as an announcement is probably in the near future that “We’ve reached herd immunity therefore the mandates are no longer necessary.”

Biden needs that so that he can claim a victory.

It is not good enough to win the issue. Every win need a to be followed up with the question “Who made this bad decision in the first place and when are they being fired?”

Until fascist pigs suffer personally the leftward march will continue.

Biden was pushing it....But it really makes no sense. Pilots are separated from passengers and air circulation is continuous. Have we been seeing any stats about fliers getting COVID?? NONE!!

I disagree about the Biden aspect. This push is global, and bigger than his senile ass. I think “they’re in too deep”.
Time will tell.

Same will happen in critically manned infrastructure jobs.
IMHO

Yeah, I think you’ve got the right idea.

Those who prescribed all non vaccinated employees should lose
their job, should lose their job.

Put the word out there. Screw with our civil rights and you won’t be able to pay your bills.

We already hit herd immunity.

The “experts” are just trying to ignore it with their pathetic “variant” propaganda.

How many kids got polio from the “polio variant”?

How many dogs get rabies from the “rabies variant”?

Except there’s no EO about 100+ employees anywhere to be found. People have tried to sue, but there’s no cause of action yet because the EO doesn’t exist.

“No law, no OSHA reg ... just a speech.”

And a business trying to get away with something to appease the socialists using their $5 mouth and 35 cent brain. They are giving the blame to Biden and not taking any responsibility for their actions. And then all of a sudden they found they had no socialist to stand on.

The draft emergency rule apparently was sent by OSHA to the White House last week for review, but until the White House approves it and then OSHA actually issues it, it has no legal effect.

I still believe it will be shot down very quickly by some court or another once it is actually issued. All you need is one court to issue an injunction, and one Court of Appeals to uphold the injunction upon a likely expedited appeal.

This.

The Biden admin wants to call a win sometime next year prior to the election and credit the vaccine and of course their sterling leadership (*cough*). the reality is herd immunity is setting in with out without the vaccine. It’s just harder to call it a win for the vaccine when 30~40% of the country is not vaxxed.
