United Airlines said Tuesday that 593 of its employees are facing termination for failing to comply with its Covid-19 vaccination policy, one of the strictest mandates for inoculation from a U.S. company. More than 96% of United’s 67,000-person U.S. workforce complied with the vaccine requirement. The deadline to upload proof of inoculation, or the first shot if receiving a two-dose vaccine, was late Monday. Roughly 2,000 United employees sought exemptions from the mandate, which the airline announced this summer, for religious or medical reasons. The Chicago-based airline had said staff to whom it grants such exemptions will be placed on temporary unpaid leave.
Time to short United! Guess who they’ll ask to bail them out from this stupid decision…

Nope... sorry #2. Its only your body, your choice if you choose to kill your unborn baby.
The founders have to be spinning in their graves.

Who cares! You couldn't pay me to fly United so this is a moot issue.

All part of the plan. The destruction of the middle class in our society. And when the dust clears we are Cuba and Venezuela. How does it happen? Well the illiterates, being the democratic voters, the parasites of our country are totally dependent on the government. More and more will join this group as the dictators tighten the screws. More and more will join this group, not by choice, but by necessity. First they destroy a business, then they take it over, they nationalize it and totally control it. Those of us who are old enough, saw it happen in real time. In Cuba we saw how Castro did it and in Venezuela we saw how Hugo Chavez did it. A step by step plan right out of the communist manifesto. This is how communism works. Got it. WAKE UP ALREADY.

Another example of a business that needs more employees, not fewer. Flight cancellations coming to an airport near you! This is what you get when a corporation is run by looters. They don't give a damn as long as they get paid. Hey! That's joe Biden's philosophy!

Leftists want to be the 3rd party in every deal. They just won't be happy until everything is either mandatory or prohibited. They're not happy till you're not happy.

How many planes will NOT RECEIVE proper maintenance and safety checks?

Agree with #5 on this one. This is all part of the Nationalization plan. The Dems are allowing of the firing of front line Health-Care workers, which in MA, are being supplanted with National Guard Medics. Soon, Government Health-Care will be back on the table. The mandates for all-electric cars will make your auto useless with no trade-in value, as cities ban gasoline fueled autos, and the Feds ban gasoline engines on the nation's Interstates. New taxes will crush small businesses.
Citizens will be forced back into the cities, as travel will be highly restricted, and public transportation will be the only mode of travel available. It's looking pretty grim, as all of these illegal mandates go un-challenged.

Maybe they can deploy the National Guard to be flight stewardesses.

Will they be doing the same for the annual flu shot?

There's a group of Afghans in Tulsa. Maybe they will fill in because they aren't required to take the shot.

FTA: "would be terminated on the grounds of violating a company safety policy, which could make them ineligible for unemployment benefits.
So instead of a forced resignation, they become a pariah to other airlines, large and small.

This should be real good for their stock.
If they have trouble making a buck , they cannot blame anyone but themselves.

Apparently these people know something about the "vaccines". That is, of course, the last thing the demon media would speculate about.

Evil companies do evil deeds. I had two old friends years ago who were United pilots. Both would be appalled at what their company has become. I have been avoiding American and United for decades for rotten treatment of workers (including family and friends) and rotten treatment of passengers, too.
Fly SW.

Even if granted an exemption, you're still in effect fired. How are these mandates legal? Even being compelled to show a vaccination card to the employer should be a HIPPA violation.
