Staff must still get vaccinated, the airlines say, despite the state governor's ban on such rules.

Under Joe Biden's sweeping changes, staff of all companies with more than 100 workers must be vaccinated by 8 December or agree to have regular tests, if they want to keep their jobs. There are limited exceptions."I've never been in favour of corporations imposing that kind of a mandate," he said.

"The objective here, obviously, is to improve health and safety, not for people to lose their jobs," Mr Kelly added.When the changes were first announced by the president, both airlines said they would comply, and offered incentives such as extra pay for staff to get the shots.Southwest Airlines, which is the fourth largest airline in the US, employs 54,000 staff.

A business group based in Texas, the Greater Houston Partnership, which counts ExxonMobil, Chevron and J.P. Morgan as its members, has also said it will continue supporting the right of businesses to require staff to be vaccinated. "The governor's executive order does not support Texas businesses' ability and duty to create a safe workplace,""While the courts will likely decide the validity of this order, we encourage all employers to continue to promote the importance of vaccinations with their employees."Related Topics

Wonder if the MSM will start bandying around terms like 'insurrection'. No? These mandates are immoral and causing all manner of issues. Dire.

'When will this medical tyranny end' They are doing anything possible to make the lives of those who don't want the jabs difficult to live. Including intimidation, coercion and bullying. What risk does an unvaccinated employee pose in a firm of fully vaccinated employees?
