South Carolina General Electric Employees Stage Walkout Over Vaccine Mandate

Employees at a General Electric plant in Greenville, South Carolina, staged a walkout on Thursday in protest of their company's vaccine mandate for employees ahead of an early December deadline by which employees must either be vaccinated or granted an exemption on medical or religious grounds to remain employed.

According to local outlet Greenville News, GE employees were joined by others during the protest that included more than 100 people, a mix of GE workers and members of the community who wished to show their support. Some held up signs bearing messages such as "I stand for medical freedom," "coercion is not consent," and "no jab, no job = tyranny."

While many employees who walked off the job were unwilling to be interviewed, two spoke with The State, who expressed frustration after they continued working throughout the Wuhan coronavirus pandemic. "We worked as an essential employee through the entire COVID pandemic," one said. "We were required to be here or lose our job. Now you're requiring me to take it to stay here."

Still no allowance for the "Because I don't want it!" exemption. But, sure would like to see more of this activity.

Any mandate is a complete lie. As the article mentions, these people worked right through the Scamdemic as critical staffing. Now they’re supposed to get the Jim Jones Jab?

Yup—we need a “I own my body, you don’t” exemption.

Their entire sham is winding down....they’re trying to get as many jabbed, as possible, by winter, to cover for the onslaught of adverse effects. To diminish the control group.

Thankfully, it appears folks are finally waking up, and....standing up.

Godspeed to them, for fighting for our rights and freedom to choose which medical procedures we want/don’t want.

“The paperwork for a religious exemption “is 6 pages long and asks about medical history along with HAVING THE EMPLOYEE AGREE NOT TO TAKE OVER-THE-COUNTER MEDICATIONS…”

Wouldn’t want to have the masses finding a cheap and effective alternative to the shot, now, would we?

Because the evil PTB are trying to equate taking aspirin with taking these experimental shots.

When has ANY religious exemption EVER asked that, before? Is this a standard, long used *requirement*?

This is attempted murder by the corporation involved. They are choosing to undermine their employees health. As the Holocaust survivor made clean, when they say they are going to kill you, believe them.

News reports say that similar demonstrations are happening at the GE Turbine plant in Schenectady NY.
