The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission says there’s nothing in federal law that can prevent an employer from compelling employees to be vaccinated in order to work.
However, the EEOC also said that for employees who have a religious objection or a physical disability that prevents them from receiving the vaccine, an employer must provide “reasonable accommodations.” Those accommodations could include forcing an unvaccinated employee to wear a mask, be socially distanced from other employees, or allowed to work from home.
The updated guidance is intended to answer frequently asked questions, EEOC Chairwoman Charlotte Burrows said in a statement. She said the agency will continue to update and clarify its assistance for employers.
The commission is an independent, bipartisan agency that enforces workplace civil-rights laws. The five-person body is led by Ms. Burrows, a Democrat whom President Biden elevated to the top position. It also includes three Republican members nominated by former President Donald Trump.
Many employers are forgoing a vaccine requirement in lieu of incentives.
JBS USA, the biggest U.S. beef processor, and Pilgrim’s Pride, a top poultry supplier, won’t require plant workers to get the vaccine, a spokesman for the companies said. A Bolthouse Farms spokesman said the company didn’t have plans to mandate vaccinations. Dollar General, Trader Joe’s and Instacart Inc. didn’t respond to requests for comment Friday.
Keira Lombardo, chief administrative officer for Smithfield Foods Inc., said the pork giant is making vaccines available for plant workers but isn’t requiring them at this time.

GEORGE WASHINGTON SAID, “GOVERNMENT IS NOT REASON, IT IS NOT ELOQUENCE, IT IS FORCE. LIKE FIRE, IT IS A DANGEROUS SERVANT AND A FEARFUL MASTER…” THIS QUOTE UNDERSCORES THE DANGER OF A GOVERNMENT EXTENDING BEYOND ITS CONSTITUTIONAL BOUNDARIES.
The vaccines are not fully approved as safe by FDA standards. That means the employer is requiring you to be subjected to an experimental procedure/therapy/drug.
I do not believe that would stand up in a (real) court.
GFYS!
Under these circumstance there is absolutely no legitimate argument for companies to require government coerced mandatory vaccinations.
Josef Stolen is a LIAR!!!!!!!
The company I work for recently revised its hiring policy to require that as of June 1st all new hires must be vaccinated as a condition of employment. I don’t know where this goes from here, we have several employees who move from department to department (myself included, even though I was already an employee, I still had to apply for my current job last year), I’m hoping that this doesn’t apply to interdepartmental moves in the near future. It’s kind of concerning that they’ve offered either $50 or $100 for people who’ve been vaccinated (and immediate family as well). A couple of weeks ago we had no shortage of the vaccinated showing up to get paid, and I’m sure HR or Accounting had made a list of names. It’s unnerving.
Biden might be occupying the White House having been adept enough at cheating, but he is not a logical, intelligent person, and his voters would excuse even that
This substance is approved for emergency use. So wear a mask if that’s what they want you to do. In a year from now it will have been settled one way or another. But I do not think that this will be being forced.
No clot shot!
Not happening.
i discussed this with my boss a little while ago...
my four legged son gave me a puzzled look while i was talking to myself...
Thus, by mandating employees be injected with the mRNA experimental drug, the employer assumes any and all responsibility for any and all adverse side affects, to include death, from the mRNA injection. Lawyers are going to clean up on this one.
Every restaurant owner, and every other business owner who complied and shut down their business, instead of banding together with other local business owners to defy the shutdown orders, is a spineless, pussy whipped coward.
I have no sympathy for any of them, and screw their panic stricken wives too.
My boss is a very nice guy, but I lost all respect for him. Just another sheep “following orders” from the government and his wife.
None of us had to comply with any of this garbage. Nobody stole our freedoms. Nobody bankrupted businesses. This was completely voluntary. Everyone just went along, like sheep to the slaughter.
80% of the human race are as dumb as cattle. Including business owners.
It has not. We already have had the rulings.
And have laws already preventing this.
We executed people for violating these court rulings and laws.
The Nuremburg Laws.
Biden needs to be tried and executed under the Nuremburg laws. We executed a bunch of Germans for doing what he wants to do.
The state has the authority to pull your liquor license AND business license on top of fining you into oblivion yes they should have banned together but under this total tyranny the state would have just pulled all licenses they don’t give a damn about small business!! Look at what the state did to the gym owners in NJ those two are buried in legal fees, fines AND their business license has been revoked indefinitely!!!
No employer can “force” you to do anything. You can walk away. If enough people say “no,” employers cannot operate without employees.
e.g. Texas
(Pending Legislation):
House Bill 1687 would prohibit employment discrimination based on an employee’s COVID-19 vaccination status. Under the Bill, an employer commits an unlawful employment practice if they fire, fail to hire or otherwise discriminate against an unvaccinated individual with respect to compensation or the terms, conditions or privileges of employment.
Every restaurant owner, and every other business owner who complied and shut down their business, instead of banding together with other local business owners to defy the shutdown orders, is a spineless, pussy whipped coward.
I have no sympathy for any of them, and screw their panic stricken wives too.

And remember, most of these “small business” restaurant owners are in fact franchisees of the larger chains, and about 90% of them took PPP and EIDL loans/ grants.
The same companies pushing for the end of federal unemployment (they absolutely need their wage slaves back)
And are many of the same companies pushing for mandatory vaccines for employees.
