Biz Pac Review – Business & Politics

Southwest Airlines has walked back its plan to force unvaccinated employees who have applied for but haven’t received a religious or medical exemption to go on unpaid leave after the federally mandated Dec. 8 deadline.
Both Southwest Airlines and American Airlines are federal contractors and therefore are subject to President Biden’s mandate that employees receive the COVID vaccine by Dec. 8 unless they are exempt due to religious or medical reasons. The rules that apply to federal contractors are stricter than companies with over 100 employees. Workers have no choice but to get the jab or get fired.
