My employer has a federal contract and was notified on 10/21/2021 that because we have a federal contract, they fall under the Federal Mandate for the jab. This is a hard mandate that is vaccination without testing and limited religious or medical exemptions. As we are a Union shop, they are aware that they have to negotiate a condition of employment with the Union. I attended the meeting with other delegates and our Union organizer. As this contract is only $412K, of the 34 million budget. Management did a survey of the employees and found that only 40% took the jab. There was an adamant 100 employees who stated that they would not get it. This equates to around 25% of the staff and another 25% didn't respond to the survey. We challenged how a mandate is NOT a law. They can't just give up the fed contract as they could be penalized for 5 years for no federal grants/money. They also are aware that the company will not survive in losing 100 employees or more in one day. They ended up seeking other legal advice. At the follow up meeting, they shared that the new advice is that the federal government cannot add this mandate mid contract. Our new contract starts in April and they believe the feds will add the language to the new contract. The only shared that OSHA is to come out with new guidelines this week and there should be timeframe for compliance. This would be a soft mandate that means they could do a vaccine or testing. As the target date keeps moving, I wanted to share that others need to speak up and challenge. However, in the end, if there is a mandate or testing is forced, I will not comply with either. Guess it is in God's plan if I am done working in mental health.

There is no FDA approved vaccine in the U.S. I think these companies (and the Federal Government, cause they're the biggest liars of all) are going to be facing a lot of lawsuits when people realize they've been forced to take a vaccine that has not been properly tested and approved.
Yes they are tricking people into taking it.
These companies give a rats ass about the percentage of employees who won’t comply. I know the firm I work for will use those of us to year end get their dirty work done, then fire us. I gave notice, the weight has been lifted I can survive without them, the stress being there having to be masked at all times locked up in a four wall cell was enough I feel free for the 1st time in years!
Some do, some don’t.
It’s very hard to find employees right now, so firing 25-40% of your workforce could be totally devastating to most companies.
Time for people to start their own companies with no jab requirements, band together with your skills
I’m starting a drone photography / videography business!
You getting the FAR Part 107 license?
I have a DJI Mini 2 which is under 250 grams. Great camera. Topaz AI for upscaling images and video.
I read there’s a weight limit on that licensing, yeah. I was looking at the Mini too, but DJI etc. Unfortunately a lot of good contracts specify the DJI I heard? Looking at US brands...they’re coming along.
Interestingly they started enrollment for next years insurance and we were told that there will be higher premiums for the unjabbed (which is bullshit by itself), what's interesting is if they were going to just fire us for non-compliance why would they even offer us insurance right now if they could use it as another way to drive us out?
Congrats, I know the feeling of being in an oppressive place for far too long and it's a great feeling to leave it. Each time I've gotten a better job with better pay and benefits. God bless.
They are playing the finger pointing game in the federal contractor space. They keep re-itering, "We are doing this vaccine mandate because of the Biden Executive Order forcing us to do so. We cannot accept federal contracts unless were all vaccinated by mid December. Even if you work from home, you have to be vaccinated because of Biden Admins order".
When the hammer falls... they will indeed make the claim "Well we only did it because of Biden! He told us we had to!"... while in the same breath they scream "TRUST THE SCIENCE". They are bitch made weasels. We are dealing with the weird kids that grew up with no morals, no principles, and they see themselves as their own gods. Bunch of soulless fucks that didn't go to church or get their ass beat enough.
Record names of anyone at your org pushing this shit. Karma will come back 10 fold...
"Bitch made weasels"...adding this to my list of insults
After I heard Jordan Peterson use weasel it has become a part of my vocabulary.
It’s a great alternative to a sensitive audience that can’t handle cuck and faggot.
While I despise their cowardice, they do have a point that if they resist they're unlikely to get any new government contracts. A lot of contractors are not union members (for good and bad) and have golden handcuffs with good paying jobs they don't want to give up. If you have strong aspirations in the company also, you may not want to rock the boat and fall out of favor. It's an insidious plan to mandate such things of contractors.
Well it is the mark of the beast after all. Of course its going to be insidious.
^^^^^This is the critical piece. I would also like to point out again, what others have pointed out. They changed some of the med within the child version of the mystery injection. You do not change the content of a medication within the trials without starting over. This goes against all things Holy within a pharma development trial. If it was not clear to those on the edge, this fact alone should make the hairs on the back of your neck stand up. It's not about medicine at this point.
As others have mentioned, I personally believe it's about transhumanism and a unique identifier along with pop reduction.
If you have input to management, at this size they could very easily start a shell company (or two, each under 100 employees) for the unvaxxed. They could do that with an accountant, and probably save money compared to what their lawyer charges.
This mandate in this question has nothing to do with 100 employees, that's the OSHA mandate. This is about federal contractors and subconstractors. They are under a stricter mandate and it's already in place for new contracts and GSA schedule contracts., with a deadline of 12/8.
The updated FAQ at saferfederalworkforce seems to close the loophole for moving people into an affiliate company:
They are allowed to give "accommodations" (exemptions) for Religious reasons though, if you can prove you are sincere. I have heard of this happening, which is good at least. But now they have a list.
They can ask Joe Biden how to protect their shell company. In Joe's state of Delaware they have the largest concentration of shell companies in the nation. I guess if you are a powerful politician you can run cover for anyone and anything. https://www.mintpressnews.com/delaware-remain-u-s-shell-corporation-capital/192674/
Fuck that. The government signed the contract without the mandate. They are in violation by adding terms of performance not agreed upon. Your greedy bosses are the problem. Tell the government to fuck off and if inwere yku I'd quit union work. You know the communist started our unions. My dad has a union teamsters pin from the1960s that has communist slogan on it. .
I was never a union member until I started this job. What I have learned is that I am a great negotiator and advocator for my coworkers because I see all sides of a situation and have a knack for numbers and the little details. The bonus is that I also am an Executive delegate, so I speak up at our state level and have affected change. I also am well aware a Union is a business and it wasn't something I sought out. I do like to say it like it is but when I am done here - you are correct, I will not be seeking out a Union position
I work for a multi-billion dollar equipment manufacturer and we had a covid-19 corporate update that went out yesterday through a small video and the VP stated that the government has not formally codified any of the vaccine mandates into law and that OSHA has not provided any written guidance. They said that they will not accept any government contract that states a mandate is required for vaccination. They said if we get a contract signed for any customer government or private that includes vaccine requirements in the contract to immediately send it to legal and to inform the company that upon legal review we will not accept the contract.
mind DM'ing me the company? Sounds like a nice place to work.

God bless you for standing up and fighting back! The Lord will provide for you!
He always does. Many have asked if I am worried about possibly losing a job that I have loved for 28 years. The answer is simple - no because it is God's plan and it only means that there is something better out there for me.
I don’t think a lot of companies care about firing those who won’t roll over and comply. They know business is going to drop in the Biden administration and this is a way to cut back. The only ones who care are the airline and air traffic controllers because they aren’t easy to replace and we are getting into the holiday season-big profit time where they raise airline ticket prices. After the beginning of January when travel decreases, they might start their demands again.
My employer does realize how valuable I am as well as the additional 100 plus employees. They won't be able to survive with this kind of loss. They also know that other employers don't have fed contracts and have already started headhunting staff - 3 more put in their resignation this week - and it is only Tuesday
The Federal Safer Workforce Task Force was tasked by EO to come up with the vaccination policies for Federal Contractors. They've been systematically closing all of the loopholes, including medical and religious exemptions. And it is abundantly clear that the Feds DO NOT CARE about following the law or doing what is right. It's all about pushing the jab without exceptions.

You are exactly correct. When I read the " compliance letter", there is a little asterisk and reference at the bottom explaining that once booster shots are recommended, they also will be mandated. This will lose at least another 50 staff show say - NOPE not doing it again. I even had to point that out to management.
Also don’t be afraid to try the religious exemption. I inviked nuremberg and equated the shot to suicide and it was approved. Also good for a legal position. You can also massage testing being against your belief into it too. (Ex. I cannot participate in any medical disclosure which is prone to being exploited for the purpose of bearing false witness)
Thanks for the info friend. I am just in wait mode and I always believe it is God's plan and if my time is done, so be it.
The published guidance from the FAR council includes the dates when clauses should be included. Your comment about not changing an existing contract is mostly correct, but watch out for GSA schedule MAS contracts. They can be modified and GSA started that process last month.
For non-GSA contracts:

Somewhat related: My sister is a teacher for a school in the Los Angeles Archdiocese. She said a deadline of jab or weekly testing came and went mid-October with nothing happening. Schools out here, both public and private are so strapped for teachers - plus, the Archdiocese would have to pay for weekly testing - they are also currently strapped for cash and aren’t about to spend hundreds of thousands/millions on testing all their employees. At least I don’t see them doing that, plus, they don’t want to potentially have to shut classes down, hence, lose students to public schools due to a potential teacher walk out. The Archdiocese is fucked if they try to mandate this and they know it (my opinion anyway).
The supposed reason for a vaxx mandate is to reduce the "cases" in a company, and in the society as a whole.
But ...
The NIH itself has published a study that shows there is NO CORRELATION between (a) vaccine rates and (b) Covid cases.
NO CORRELATION.
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8481107/
That means NO person, business, or government can rely on the claim that their mandate will have ANY benefit to ANY PERSON.
Tell THEM that THEY must JUSTIFY their "mandate," considering NIH's position that there is NO CORRELATION between vaxx rates and Covid cases.
Put the burden of proof on THEM, and NOT on YOU.
Thank you for the supporting documentation - will keep it handy.
God bless and be with you for STANDING up and STANDING OUT
Thanks for sharing! I’m going through it right now with my company being a fed contractor. Looking for a new job but I’m praying the tides turn against this. Hopefully it does!
If you didn't shut down because of employee illness and death, there is no need for experimental injections which permanently and irrevocably alter one's DNA.
Exactly and over the last 2 months, we have had 20 employees test positive for Wuhan flu and wait for it - they were all double jabbed. I know you are shocked by this statement, take a moment and recover. LOL
Question OP...what if you got an LLC and subcontracted to your employer? Would they keep their employees intact and would the subcontractor to a Federal Contractor still fall under said mandate? All you’d lose is their health insurance 401K etc BUT you could offset that with your LLC guideline? I dunno...just throwin balogna at the wall seeing if it will stick?!
OHHH I like that idea. The only issue is that the Union contract, which I negotiated for the last 28 years does NOT allow for subcontract of a union position. But I appreciate you looking out for me. Will keep everyone posted though, never now when you need assistance
Gotcha. sigh
Thanks for sharing this info!
