Friends, long time commenter here, first time posting. Requesting help from all of you, been praying on this for the last hour and am looking for guidance on how to proceed.
My company (large manufacturer, >3000 employees) implemented a policy today stating that all employees must be vaccinated or subscribe to weekly testing. If the employee is not vaccinated and tests positive, they will be required to quarantine for 2 weeks WITHOUT PAY. Right now, we are hovering around 50% vaccinated, many of our plants have even lower numbers. They are stating they are implementing this policy based on CDC guidance.
I want to reply all (was a company wide email) and question and poke holes in the policy along with motivate fellow peers to STAND UP. How should I proceed with fighting this? Is crafting an email back to my management with all 3,000 employees copied a stupid move? Any information or legal resources I can use?
The fight has arrived at my doorstep, I'm asking for your prayers and support. Thank you all in advance, this community has kept me motivated and hopeful, for that I am always grateful.
Tell them you want HR documents with stated laws and CDC evidence, and they should assume responsibility for vaccine contraindications, full paid time off, separate short and long term disability specific to the mandate, and compensation for any vaccine injuries that results from potential long term effects. The federal vaccine injury program caps out at around 70K or so for those who willingly get inoculated.
The military pays out bigly for any injury caused by mandated vaccines, so your company should provide the documentation so employees can plan for anything bad that goes wrong. Also, what about the people who aren’t recommended to get it? People who are immune compromised..theres a whole list of questions in the pharmacopoeia doctors have to consider. What are the companies standards on people with preexisting conditions? Are company health and life insurance benefits going to be updated to cover all of it? You tell them you want a bunch of documentation to things they won’t be able to get answers to (because duh it’s a scam ) and they will backtrack.
I love this, thank you for the well thought out response. The question is, do I reply all to the email thread to inspire my fellow friends/employees and potentially put a target on my back in the process?
In my opinion, I would reply all but make it look like you’re more concerned about the paperwork/legalities instead of the vaccine itself..it’ll get people thinking about it at least from an HR / admin standpoint so people don’t automatically think your “antivax”. Or maybe talk to your coworkers and see how they feel about it..definitely raise questions though and see if anyone else is concerned too. I’m sure you’ll have more backing than you think!
