United Airlines: Fly the Liberal Skies
United Airlines Says Almost All Its Workers Are Vaccinated; Some Others May Be Fired
United Airlines is touting the success of its COVID-19 vaccine mandate, saying that more than 99% of its U.S.-based employees have met the company's requirement to get vaccinated, or have applied for a religious or medical exemption.
But the fewer than 600 United employees who did not get vaccinated by the airline's deadline of Sept. 27 now face termination. -snip
Out of over 67,000 US employees, only around 600 had to be fired and around 2,000 put on unpaid leave. Now there' roughly 2,500 jobs smart people can be hired for. I laughed at the "religious" exemptions.
Still, well done United Airlines, bravo 👆
