Boeing Suspends Vaccine Mandate For Employees

Boeing has announced that it is suspending vaccine requirements for its employees.

The aerospace company has become the latest high profile American corporation to announce that it will not be complying with Joe Biden’s vaccine mandate.

opponents to the Biden mandate have pointed out the whopping cost businesses will incur for attempting to police vaccination status for the current regime.

Numerous legal challenges to the mandate have been successful across the country culminating with The Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals striking down the mandate; however, The 6th Circuit recently reinstated the mandate.

This of course means that a battle in The Supreme Court will ultimately decide the issue, but in the meantime both American workers and industry continue to fight against the draconian measures.

Here are the latest developments:

Just The News provided further insight into Boeing’s recent announcement:

“Boeing is committed to maintaining a safe working environment for our customers, and advancing the health and safety of our global workforce,” a company spokesperson told KOMO News.

“As such, we continue to encourage our employees to get vaccinated and get a booster if they have not done so. Meanwhile, after careful review, Boeing has suspended its vaccine requirement in line with a federal court’s decision prohibiting the enforcement of the federal contractor executive order and a number of state laws.”

Defense News adds:

But Boeing also left the door open to following the vaccine mandate once again if it returns.

“The success of Boeing’s vaccination requirement to date positions the company well to comply with the federal executive order should it be reinstated in the future,” Boeing said.
