Canadian, U.S. truckers warn vaccine mandates will disrupt supply chains

Canada will require vaccines for truck drivers starting in January, while the Biden administration has issued rules requiring truck drivers at companies with 100 or more employees to be vaccinated or submit to weekly testing.

"This is not a trucking issue. This is a Canada-U.S. economic issue," Laskowski told Reuters, adding about 70 per cent of that C$650 billion U.S.-Canada trade moves by truck. The Justice Department has asked another court to throw out the temporary stay, and a decision could come as soon as mid-December.

In written comments filed with the Labor Department, the ATA said the nation's motor carriers could lose up to 37 per cent of their drivers to "retirements, attrition to smaller carriers and/or conversion to independent contractor owner-operators."Laskowski said there are already 18,000 job vacancies for truck drivers in Canada and he is pushing to delay the Jan. 15 deadline to give companies more time to deal with the situation.

Some of the truckers have been extremely careful about all their dealings through the pandemic. Really really careful.

It will also disrupt their salary and jobs so they should get on board!!!

Let those truckers then stay home! We don't need them spread Covid all over the Country! I know of two trucks where I live that lost their jobs! One of them had to sell his house within a week of being jobless

Some threat

The option is disrupting the supply chain and businesses because truckers spread Covid over long distances.

No . Idiots who won't get vaxxed will disrupt supply chains

Easy fix get vaccinated, problem solved.

Lol no it won't for those willing to get it. Now is the time those needing Jobs go into Truck Driving School and boom no slow down.

Lol they know. That's what they want

Too bad, so sad, but travellers are also spreaders and that we don’t need. Mandate.

There will always be someone to haul that load. The un-vaxed drivers won't be able to participate in mandated loads. It's their sandbox and they can allow whoever they want to play in it.

Definitely knew this was coming! Let the disruptions begin! Lol

Not only will vaccines disrupt it, but no vaccines will disrupt it even more. I guess you never thought of that huh gang

Please shut trucking down and see the chaos for toilet paper🤣🤣🤣🤣

Alternate Headline: Canadian, U.S. truckers refuse to follow health regulations & plan to disrupt supply chains

then get vaccinated. they should not be ones making the rules. let them lose their jobs.

Or….. they could get vaccinated What a concept.

I don't care. Our shared health is what's most important now.

Damn right it will. Stop with this ridiculous mandate as it's now proven that vaxxed people spread it more than unvaxxed. Simple math. More vaxxed...way more...than unvaxxed.

Board overstepped in imposing vaccine mandate on House: SpeakerHouse Speaker Anthony Rota has sided with the Conservative challenge of the imposition of a vaccine mandate on the Chamber, ruling that the board that made the decision overstepped and breached MPs' privileges. Sorry all of Canada should be mandated to this ugly viruse. Why should air heads walk around with no respect to other Canadians. These assholes should be placed in the Bug Wards in the Hospitals, they seen ti be so affraid of. I JUST GOT MY THIRD ànd this was my B Day present. So the Board overstepped. The mandate will now go to a full Parliament vote, exposing the CPC to more unnecessary scrutiny and scorn. Might as well throw in a flat earth resolution while they are at it. The only ones overstepping are the conservative minority in this matter. Conservative and their my way or the highway attitude.
