Ya. Scary times.

The America that we all once loved will be gone if they win.

Even a minority of workers fired or quit over the jabs will affect production. If the people putting in the dashboards and wiring harnesses in new vehicles are not at work, the line must stop.

The other ugly secret is how many of the remaining employees will quit because they will have to work a crushing amount of overtime to fill in for the un-jabbed who are fired.

This tyranny will destroy the country. Many who ARE jabbed will be quitting due to the exhausting workload thrust upon them.

You can’t hire “temps” for critical production jobs.

Do you want “labor pool” temps building Boeing airliners or modern jet fighters?

Yeah. The unions. Great guys, huh?

Absolutely silent while their puppet masters turn their members into cattle.

We were just talking about that yesterday.

When you take everything away from someone, destroy their lives and harm their families or them...

A lot of the unvaccinated are highly-skilled people with years of experience

No company can survive the loss of a lot of these workers, they have skills that take years to learn properly

So if this mandate is fully enforced, it will destroy important parts of the US economy ... bong production won’t be affected, you can train anybody to make those, but planes, electronics, etc., anything high-tech will be sabotaged

has anyone even thought this through???

The "unvaccinated" are really ...

PRO CHOICE!

(This 70+ yr old chose vaccinations for himself, but respects the freedom of other American Citizens to choose for themselves and their families.)

So, basically Covid is Oceania (1984) or even the terrorists in Brazil (the movie).

The Mercedes factory is located in Vance, Alabama. Vance is in two counties, Tuscaloosa, which has 39% fully vaccinated, and Bibb county, which has only 31% vaccinated.

I’m not sure Mercedes can fire them all and expect to find new vaccinated workers in that area.

Guess they’ll just have to close down.

FJB!

This is starting to feel very much like the HP outsourcing that began in Silicon Valley in ‘98.
We started hearing from HP workers they were being forced out and if they trained in their replacements from India, they could stay 6 more months.
If they refused, they would be terminated in 2 weeks.

We were shocked when we heard this.
I’m thinking someone has a plan.

Performance on the job and within the contracts that companies hold with other parties.

How is it that anybody or any group or any company or any company’s employees be forced to abide by the rules of another company or government entity? The rules or laws or agreements to perform the work, were agreed to before any contract is/was signed. So, how is it that any government entity can force the company performing the work, to have its workforce vaccinated? Forcing vaccinations on a company is not what the agreements required.

If there isn’t a law currently in the books whereby the government can force a company’s workers to be vaccinated, then, the government is violating the agreement which they signed on to.

If there isn’t a law which protects companies from government edicts which were not in play at the time of the original contract agreement, then, the government is playing foul and should be stopped.

A life-long Democrat, Adams said he would no longer vote for the party. “They’ll never get another vote from me and I’m telling the workers here the same thing.”

_________________________________________________________

It sure would be nice if our votes actually mattered anymore. Don’t worry, Adams, a Democrat thug will have already voted for you.

Two Textron workers who requested religious exemptions told Reuters the company’s human resources representatives quizzed them on the name of their church leaders and asked detailed questions about their faith.

Why, that doesn’t sound the least bit intrusive in one’s personal life.

One political party hates normal Americans. They make no secret of it.

The other says they care about Americans but they do nothing to stop the headlong rush into absolute madness.

All of them partake in our revolving door government in one way or another. From Congresscritters to lobbyists, think tanks, law firms, it’s all become a giant racket.

There may be a dozen or so out of the 535 but that’s not enough to do anything about it.
