Southwest Airlines and American Airlines, both based in Texas, said Tuesday that they will continue plans to require employees to get vaccinated, despite an edict issued by Texas Gov. Greg Abbott that would ban vaccine mandates for private businesses in the state.
Abbott on Monday signed a sweeping order effectively banning vaccine mandates for private businesses with 100 or more employees. Last month, the Biden administration said it will require that businesses with 100 employees or more must mandate vaccines or receive weekly Covid tests. "We've seen from economist after economist, and frankly, many business leaders who have already worked to implement mandates that implementing these mandates creates certainty and reduces the number of people who are out of work sick, and worse," Psaki said. "That is good ultimately for businesses, it's good for the economy," she said, adding it saves lives.
Southwest doesn't fly international anyway, and I wouldn't trust them. I don't care if they give 2 bags free. I don't like that airline.
These companies have the right and the responsibility to protect their workers and customers.
Abbott is sliding into the tar pit of history—I hope he doesn’t drag the whole state with him. BetoForGovernor AbbottFailedTexasAgain TexasFreeze TexasAbortionBan COVID19
They are doing the right thing.
Mandate bans mandate bans 🤔
Have the airlines heard of federalism? Fed action only supersedes state action if pres acting within the scope of constitutional power. Otherwise the feds could always just overrule the states on any issues. Dems certainly didn’t support that false premise prior to January 20.
I definitely don’t want a guy too stupid to comprehend basic science flying my 737. These idiot Southwest pilots are doing us all a favor by outing themselves.
Crazy scary that we haven't seen the lawmakers in congress take this up - that only the executive branch of our gov is pushing this. Isn't this what dictators do? make decrees? Is the USA a land governed by laws created by the representatives of the people? Just saying
anti-gop greg abbott is against free market
Trump to sue American and Southwest for not capitalizing T in Trump. Now, both airlines considering to divorce Texas and marry California.
You know I won’t be flying from Texas airlines anytime soon! HELL NO!👎

Texas Gov. Abbott bans Covid vaccination mandates in rebuke of BidenTexas Gov. Abbott issues an executive order prohibiting any entity, including private businesses, from imposing Covid vaccination requirements. The vaccine mandate is through OSHA which is the federal government. State laws cannot supersede federal law. Let alone do so by a mere governor's executive order. Seams to me he has a God complex. Just like Trump claiming power he doesn't have. That would include Southwest & American airlines. Hopefully, that improves the weather issues for Southwest. Protecting individual liberty, which of course the left hates. They like a strong authoritarian regime dictating how individuals should live their life
