Despite the Supreme Court striking down a vaccine-or-test rule for private employers, the workwear retailer Carhartt is moving ahead with a mandate — fueling an outcry among some conservatives.

Wearing Carhartt for the first time to thank them for caring about public health and their employees. Expect new orders from this liberal soon.

Marketing geniuses realizing opportunity in the midst of unprecedented history. threats are always opportunities if you are wise

'The woke cancel culture mob' - these same people

Now the morons are burning their Carhartt stuff. Can't wait until pickup truck makers implement mandates.

I have some of their stuff I’m getting more!

Businesses are slowly beginning to realize if they want to protect their profits, they need to protect their employees from becoming ill.

Wait until they hear about Willie Nelson.

Private businesses can do what they want. Love it when we can use Republican Ammo against then. If a owner can discriminate against customers or employees based off sexual orientation. Then they can also do so with Vaccines. :)

I need some fleece-lined pants ASAP! Carhartt

Big deal

Who are these conservatives? This is another fake news story like the SCOTUS mask hoax. It has only been a week since the ruling. They will flip when they need to hire more employees The stores that carry their products do not mandate vaccines or masks. feb1

Proud American and owner of Carhartt products. Thank you for keeping your workforce safe and bringing us great products.

Good. It probably makes huge business sense to have healthy employees. Duh.

Carhartt is about providing laborers with rugged protective clothing so they can function at best performance. The company maintaining a vaccine mandate aligns with the functional and protective purpose of their business.

helchose protecting your workers is just good business

OMGOSH can not people/companies do what is best for their patrons even if their patrons behave like petulant children throwing tantrums and writing their own narrative. Having most of your staff out sick for days isn’t conducive to running a successful business either.

Good for Carhartt.

As a loyal Carhartt buyer, I commend them on this decision and am happy to support them!

Good for Carhartt!!!

And in gratitude, I place an order with Carhartt after seeing this announcement.

Hmm, I think I need a new Carhartt soon...

Most of Carhartt's sales are to hipster poseurs and they know it.

Stay strong Carhartt. You’re doing the right thing!

Speaking of the Supreme Court, how many justices will have to get involved to set you straight? Tell NinaTotenberg to do a little better.

This is a violation of unalienable and hue-man rights! They made the virus and have been working on this vaccine for years. They have lied, suppressed less harmful medications and killed millions while making BILLIONS of dollars in revenue, knowing their vaccines are harmful.

So much for freedom!! Only if others believe exactly as you do.

Wow, you guys are really blowing this up. This isn't a real problem. The mandate is the problem.

I’ll buy something from Carhartt today.

People are idiots. Companies demanding workers get vaccinated don't care about political values, they're trying to prevent more lost productivity, be able to demand staff comes in while sick + avoiding potential lawsuits.

It’s a private company doing private company things without government interference. Conservatives should be pleased. That’s exactly in line with their ideology. This is a win for their worldview.

Gotta love hypocritical conservative cancel culture, and not supporting corporations’ freedom. Pick a side idiots. Are you against corporations or not lol

Hey Carhartt , thank you!! Safety above all else. I will continue to be a loyal customer. CompaniesThatCare

Standby for a right-wing offshoot, rugged apparel company: Carharttless.

Unless you're a conservative who works at Carhartt you have no voice in this argument. If you read the article the conservative mouth piece in this 'out cry' is a former trump attorney. Enough said.

Conservative? What does that have to do with a deadly virus & opposing protective policies to stop the spread & deaths of your fellow citizens? Any one with COMMON SENSE would know that, Instead of listening to the foolish dangerous rhetoric spewed by others for political chaos!

Republicans: WE REFUSE TO WORK WEAR IT'S SAFE!

Boycott a company that only wants to look out for the safety of its workforce. So let people come in get sick, get others sick etc… in the name of freedom? at some point at least some level of reasoning has to be used.

Most likely, upper management was looking for a way to thin the ranks and increase their share value.

It's the blowback they get today. It doesn't last. The cancel movement only has like 10 days of staying power then nobody remembers or gives a shit anymore. Every company should do what ever they feel is right for their future. If your product is good the ppl will be back.

Thank you Carhartt because vaccines matter!

على الرغم من إلغاء المحكمة_العليا_الأمريكية لإلزام أصحاب العمل في القطاع الخاص بفرض لقاح أو اختبارالعاملين ضد فيروس_كورونا_المستجد ، فإن تاجر التجزئة لملابس العمل كارهارت يمضي قدمًا في الزام العاملين - مما أثار غضبًا بين بعض المحافظين.

Good for Carhartt! Humans need to accept the fact that ignorance and selfish behavior is the root cause for the continued devastation the pandemic is causing.

Couldn't be happier.

Private company rules. GQP loves it until they don’t.

No one cries more than a conservative

And prompting me to buy a new carhartt coat.

--- Conservatives ABSOLUTELY LOVE Free Market Capitalism Until They Don't

I’ll add you quote exactly *one* conservative in this story who called for a boycott and she makes money off of taking public contrarian positions. Please do better - we count on you to not inflame an already fraught public health situation.

I like Carhartt even more now!

.Carhartt must not understand who it’s target audience is.

I always choose Carhartt but until they change their stance I'll be choosing Dickies or another.

That's an interesting move Carhartt. Good for you. A store like TractorSupply that carries only Carhartt and a cheap home brand probably has 90% maga as customers. Will be interesting to see what happens.

Has the media ever thought to ask why conservatives are so hellbent on making everyone’s workplace a covid hotspot?

There is no tightrope. If the .89% chance of hospitalization unvaccinated people have is too risky for you, get vaccinated and your risk of hospitalization drops 99% to .01%. There is no reason but hysteria to feel unsafe, or worry about others' status at that point.

They can cry harder. No one cares what they think.

Everything fuels outcry from conservatives these days. The incessant whining is exhausting.

Conservatives just want to cancel progress

Like most private employers

thrift stores abt to be loaded

Proudly wearing my carhartt jacket and Nike shoes today.

Because conservatives couldn’t care less about a free market. They want one that bends to their whims and their whims only

NPR Cookie Consent and ChoicesThey aren't about making it easier...they are about removing and reducing barriers that intentionally make it more difficult for some to vote and ensure that the People's vote isn't thrown out in favor of a dictatorship like party! In light of today's Senate debate/vote on ability to debate voting rights, and the fight between SenSchumer and LeaderMcConnell over who'll destroy America & democracy first, I ask again... They are both BS! We don’t want Nationally controlled elections!

NPR Cookie Consent and ChoicesGreat read & assessment of successes and challenges. Vax hesitancy and research expansion are definitely crucial. But when the US_FDA refuses and delays approval of WHO supported universal inactive vax (COVAXIN_USA ) from receiving EUA for 2 & up, it further increases mistrust I appreciate this but does NPR have any self awareness of the difference in the objective calm way you’re covering this disaster vs the breathless “there’s no good news” coverage of the last admin’s Covid response? Again, if your reporting is not telling people about the extensive GOP propaganda focused on diverting as many people away from science-based mitigation, this is an incomplete assessment. And one item no plan could address.
