Corporate America reacts to President Biden's new vaccine mandate.
that requires companies with 100 or more employees to ensure that their workforces are fully vaccinated or can produce negative Covid tests at least once a week.
A rising number of Covid-19 cases has threatened children's return to school, slashed consumer confidence,, delayed employees' return to downtown offices and led more and more companies to reduce their growth forecasts for the rest of the year. United Airlines announced last month that all employees would have to be vaccinated by Sept. 25; the vast majority of its pilots and flight attendants have already gotten the shots. This week, the airline also saidwould have to stay home until the pandemic"meaningfully recedes."
"We've noticed a huge increase, just recently, in the share of postings that either mandate or request employees be vaccinated," Julia Pollak, labor economist at the jobs platform ZipRecruiter, said last month, before"When you see more major employers require vaccinations, that will probably set a trend for other employers to follow," she said.
A spokesman for the United Auto Workers said the labor union is"looking at the details of the announcement and how it impacts our over 700 employer contracts and our members," Reuters reported. Last month, UAW President Ray Curry said the union would need to negotiate before any mandates could be put into place.
