    United Airlines Holdings Inc. will require its 67,000 U.S. employees to be vaccinated this fall, the first major airline to take this step as the Delta variant drives a nationwide increase in Covid-19 infections.


    Airlines including United have so far tried to encourage workers to be vaccinated voluntarily, with incentives such as bonus pay or extra vacation.


    In a letter to employees Friday, Chief Executive Scott Kirby and President Brett Hart said they expected that some would disagree with the decision but said the move was necessary to keep workers safe.

    ==========================================================

    This is not "Science". Why would you require those with natural immunity that have already had CV-19 to take the vaccine?

    I hope enough of the employees are upset with enough job opportunities elsewhere quit making United a trash airline that can't get the workforce needed to operate. I would quit.

    This was just a "Conspiracy Theory" a few months back. We told you so.

    It is strange how conservatives switch so rapidly between demanding companies be able to do business with and employ whoever they want vs whining about it when they do just that.

    They stated they are doing it to keep their employees safe. Shouldn't that be up to the employee? While I work for myself, I never before depended on my employer to take responsibility for my own personal health choices.

    Many companies are doing this, I have a close family member on the business side of Walmart and they are also required to get vaxed.

    Fiscally conservative, gone
    Law and order, gone
    Family values, gone
    Blue lives matter, gone
    Thats just a few, they twist and turn to anything they want and never look back..It is very revealing!

    I recently flew on United. To a person, the crew, the staff all said they had already been fully vaccinated. So sounded like folks took advantage of their ability under essential work to already become vaccinated. Does it mean anything now? Likely not as even those of us who are vaccinated suddenly find ourselves as the "culprits" in spreading COVID and are now being demonized for having gone back to our lives as if we could.

    It's their choice. When it bites them in the ass and people quit in mass... that will also be a choice.

    It is strange how conservatives Leftists switch so rapidly between, "my body, my choice", and you are forced to take an experimental vaccine or you cannot work!

    One has to remember that the ultimate goal of "my body, my choice" is less of the riff raff liberals detest.... In their Malthusian utopia, only ubermensch shall be admitted..... Creating that narrative is only tolerable until something might effect their elitist castles, and then of course, its off to the gulags with everyone....

    So you don’t understand the difference between an employer having requirements and being forced to do (or not do) something under penalties of federal and state law?

    I see why y’all abandoned law and order so quickly — seems it isn’t even understood.

    The goal of “my body my choice” is to not make women be forced incubators to the state.

    It is insane the backstory y’all invent.
    But it explains your agenda.

    LOL... no seriously... you just said that and expect us to believe it when the same folks are demanding that you use your body as a forced incubator for the state... The irony... LOL

    I didn’t say or imply the mythology you invented.

    Very few people support federally mandated vaccinations. I support people making their own decisions even if that removes them from the population.

    Somebody help a brutha out. I thought a vaccinated person would would only get a sniffle if he or she catches the virus again. So requiring unvaccinated people to get vaccines to protect people who would only get a sniffle seems more or less like people trust the vaccine until you’re actually vaccinated and then they don’t. Does anyone know how many vaccinated people got seriously sick or died from the virus?

    How is your employer entitled to you medical records? HIPA

    How is your employed allowed to threaten you job, under duress, for an experimental vaccine? Especially, if you have already had the virus and have natural antibodies?

    Watching Leftists go full tyrant is predictable. The best part is that we said they would pull all this crap, and the Leftists denied it. Here we are now, in a place, that they called a Conspiracy Theory six short months ago.

    So you do or don’t think businesses should be able to select their employees and customers?

    Can you cite one of these threads that said private businesses would never require their employees to get vaccinated?

    You want private medical records disclosed as a condition of employment? I did Nazi that coming!

    You guys want power and control at any cost. You want to ban people from employment, travel, entertainment, gyms, and more. The Authoritarians are showing their true colors. We always knew and here is that confirmation.

    You must have missed the two questions I asked.

    Would you like to try again or did your imagination upset you beyond recovery?

    For the record, I don’t want to ban any of you from anything — I want you out in public interacting with as many people as possible.

    I'm glad I'm well paid and work for a family owned business who would never do this. It's an open secret a % of employees smoke weed and they dont care. No one is demanded to pee in a cup.

    The only thing I want is for one of you to be able to answer a question without deflection or dropping a Nazi bomb. Seems impossible

    If people are smoking weed on their own time, it should be no one's business.

    We do Federal Contracts with classified status.... sooooo... no weed.
