That announcement from President Joe Biden about federal vaccine mandates that would affect nearly all workers in the private sector is about as solid as a slice of swiss cheese. Every time we think we’re getting our heads wrapped around it, more changes or exceptions seem to appear. The latest is being hailed by representatives of the trucking industry as “a huge victory” because the Department of Labor has now decided that most truckers will not fall under the mandate. And if they do, they will have the option of submitting weekly negative COVID tests instead of getting the shot if they wish. So what makes truck drivers so special?

Just because the Sec. of Labor says this is the case, doesn't make it so in any way. Until they put it in writing, its just another Xiden administration lie.
Regardless, refuse to comply.

Weekly tests? How’s that gonna work? Drivers, by definition, are on the move. Local guys maybe but OTR drivers can cover 600-700 miles in a day and are rarely in the same place on a weekly basis . Better than a mandated non vaccine but still problematic.

Tough as it would be, drivers should call a wildcat strike until all mandates are blown out of the water.

Biden and all the government are afraid of having all those 18 wheelers flooding their streets, shutting down whole cities. It is cowardice that made them change their ruling for the truckers.

Spread the word. A nationwide strike starts tomorrow Nov. 8th thru the 11th to “Axe the Vax”.
Walk-out / No-show / Sickout / Strike
This is the moment, & this is the move. We ALL must join together to stand for freedom, reject Medical Apartheid, and return power to the people.
Tell everyone you know.

It can't be much of an emergency if they keep carving out exemptions........for convenience.

Anyone else remember how certain occupations were declared 'essential workers'? Truckers were. So were first responders. They don't talk about that anymore since they want everyone to get vaccinated.

Australian truckers did this in August.

The mainstream media will obligingly report the "mandate" and exception as if they were already real. Our propagandist press is facilitating the lies.

How quaint and racist of Joey, Truckers exempt, but not the medical community, police, fire fighters, or first responders.

Why don’t they just come out and say, everyone is exempt except white Trump supporters.

This Biden mandate is falling apart, piece by piece. Watch, it is happening before our very eyes.

But wait, truckers who take their dogs and cats on the road with them put these pets in grave danger. PETA, where are you?

Truckers by nature are pretty independent people. A mandate requiring truckers to get the shot would have been a massive disaster.

I wonder if Amazon, UPS, and Fed Ex drivers fall under the 'truckers' label. The administration surely doesn't want an even greater shortage of home delivery drivers.

( I mandate that you come over and shovel the snow out of my drive this winter) Now you must obey. There is NO law that you must get vaccinated. There is only a mandate. RESIST! Notice how the mandates disappear when you kick them in the gonads.

Is that because he thinks they can work from home?

When this goofy administration turns a blind eye to diseased illegals entering this country all the mandates mean nothing.
No pockets of special dispensations it's all or none. The Fartking and his administration is not serious about the 'jab'. Let's go Brandon

The reason that truckers will be exempt is...Mr. Magoo needs them on the job...it's more empty shelves unless the truckers drive the product to market...obama's demands for the vaccine isn't working...people are getting smart to his tactics...and his biden ear piece with instructions is not working...biden looks ever more feeble and the bill to give money to the new world order was so obvious that they had better start some shovel ready jobs fixing infrastructure or the country will explode...

Does anyone remember what that voting machine popular New Jersey Governor Murphy did in August 2020? When he wasn't busy sending overweight cops to arrest gym owners for trying to stay open and feed their families, the tyrant edict for out of state truckers was they could not get out of the cab of the rig when they made deliveries in the state. In a few days freight loads decreased by 20% and his welfare voting cities would have starved so he called it off.

Keep up the pressure team America! And team world! The lie is crumbling and hopefully soon Doctors will be unshackled to go back to practicing medicine and not politics. Pfizer’s new magic pill is not the cure but a good placebo to help Americans move on from the fear porn. Now to tame the media back into reality, ok easy, one can hope.

What about the waitresses at the Truck Stops? Doesn't anyone care about them? Who will protect them from the truckers? We couldn't stop laughing this morning.
Who let these people (politicians) out of the Insane Asylum? They are running our Country. You can't call it a government, because it doesn't resemble one.

it would appear that not one person in this administration knows what they are doing starting from the top. Postal workers are exempt, congress is exempt and I guess if you work in a company with less than 100 employees your exempt but over 100 you than can spread the virus but under 100 you can't. What a bunch of idiots.
