Boeing drops COVID-19 requirement for US employees
The Associated Press ^ | December 17, 2021

SEATTLE (AP) — Aerospace giant Boeing said Friday it’s suspending a company vaccination requirement for all U.S.-based employees.

The Seattle Times reports the company adopted a COVID-19 vaccine mandate in October to ensure compliance with the federal executive order that required all employees of federal contractors to be vaccinated.

The mandate faced opposition from a vocal minority of Boeing workers.

In an internal company announcement, Boeing told employees its decision to suspend the mandate “comes after a detailed review of a U.S. District Court ruling earlier this month that halts the enforcement of a federal executive order requiring vaccinations for federal contractors.”

Boeing Commercial Airplanes CEO Stan Deal, who is vaccinated, told the newspaper he still wants “to encourage every one of our workforce to get vaccinated.”

I can’t believe Boeing would do this without Deep State’s approval...

Hmmm, they must be sensing the possibility of liability.

Maybe that, plus the loss of too many talented employees.

I think it’s more likely the DOD is sensing no aircraft delivery for a while.

Boeing wants their people to DIE!!!

Or do they...or perhaps they don’t want to lose their key workers, some of whom are the best in the world.

The jab is really important. Not as important as shutting down the production line. But important, sorta.

Check out these numbers about the age of Boeing employees:

They probably have already been hard hit with retirements, with many more on the way soon.

Any mandatory vaccination requirement will increase the rate of new retirements and make hiring replacements much more difficult.

They are probably begging their older workers to stay at this point.

Boeing has alreasy lost its way. Airbus knows what they are doing but I am afraid that Boeing will not be able to build airplanes and manage everything that goes into them for much longer. The woke, inclusive culture will destroy innovation. The design teams of old had millions of microaggressions every day while focusing on airplane design excellence. Not offending people is now more important than design excellence. And yes the 737 MAX is just the beginning

Jay Inslee is not going to be pleased.

His Gov’t canceled a contract with my daughter’s company. So the new company, CA based, sub-contracted her out to do the work. There are ways around their rules …

That is how many government contractors work around the affirmative action rules.

A minority “fixer” creates a front corporation that wins the contract, then subcontracts it out to whitey to get the work done.
