Last week my company announced vaccine mandate with full vaccination required by 10/4/21 (or you will be terminated). My office staff participated in #walkoutwednesday this week (Along with a few hundred other people across our company) and this evening the local news reported that my employer, a large healthcare network in the region, has “added another exemption” and extended the deadline for employees to get fully vaccinated. The added exemption is an antibody test showing COVID antibodies. So, I realize this isn’t what we want yet, but a small amount of protesting has yielded a small amount of change and now they’ve given us more time to really ramp up the pressure! Since most of the network is already short staffed I can’t imagine they can easily fire all the dissenters. And people are really ready to lose their jobs over this!
I also would add — don’t assume your large employer has their legal ducks in a row over this because my company (15,000 employees) has embarrassed themselves more than once by rolling out things that had to be retracted due to legal issues. Use the resources on GAW to put up a hell of a battle.
Stick together and fight!!
