‘No Jab, No Job’: United Becomes First Airline To Mandate Vaccines For All Employees

• ‘No Jab, No Job’ – United Becomes First Airline To Mandate Vaccines For All Employees
  by Tyler Durden, https://www.zerohedge.com/
  The trend of major US companies requiring workers to get vaccinated continued Friday with United Airlines, which became the first major US carrier to require its staff to be vaccinated.
  –
  The decision isn’t exactly a surprise. United CEO Scott Kirby said during an interview earlier this year that he would prefer to make vaccination a requirement, so long as United wasn’t alone. Now that Kirby has made his move, expect every other major carrier to announce vaccination requirements of their own.
  –
  United employees have until Oct. 25 to receive the vaccine and upload their injection record to a company database. Although that date could change, United said in a memo Friday. In mid-June, the Chicago-based airline began requiring new hires to provide proof of coronavirus vaccinations by their start date.
  –
  All US-based United employees will be required to upload a card showing they’ve received the required number of doses five weeks after the Food and Drug Administration announces it has fully approved a Covid-19 vaccine, or five weeks after Sept. 20, whichever comes first, United said. The deadline to meet the mandate is now Oct. 25, the airline said, warning employees it could move up if the agency announces its approval next month.
  –
  So far, the group of US companies requiring vaccination was limited mostly to tech giants. Microsoft, Facebook and others have announced mandatory vax plans, while others, including Amazon, Wells Fargo and plenty of other Wall Street firms have simply delayed employees’ return to the office.
  –
  United’s decision to join them is just the latest sign that mandatory vaccination will soon become the norm at American corporate workplaces.
