Businesses with federal contracts are so tied to the government teat that they will force their employees to comply to keep that federal money coming. My employer falls under that category. My current contract is with a federal agency. Coercive tactics from the government while at the same time, we're about to hit the debt limit AGAIN. I expect the "continuity of business" messages soon as the company faces a cutoff of funds from a bankrupt government.
[Unfortunately, most large US-based companies are complying, and threatening their employees with the loss of their jobs if they don’t get vaccinated.]
Yup... my company isn’t backing down. If I don’t get the “vaccine” card uploaded by Jan. 4th, I am being terminated Jan 5th with no severence, DESPITE being previously approved for religious exemption, AND working remotely from home out of state.
