Wow! Southwest Air Just Caved In A MAJOR Way!

Uncategorized

Previously, Southwest Airlines without hesitation followed tyrant Binden’s mandates threatening employees to get fired if not vaccinated.

But the majority of their employees are not happy about it, so thousands of Southwest flights were canceled after pilots and employees boycotted the company’s vaccine mandate.

Then, sudden turns of events just happen recently, Southwest Airlines is now dropping plans to put unvaccinated workers that are still waiting to be approved for a medical or religious exemption on unpaid leave starting in December.

Such employees will be able to work as their applications for religious or medical exemptions are considered, provided they observe company rules on masks and social distancing, officials from the company said.

“This is a change from what was previously communicated. Initially, we communicated that these Employees would be put on unpaid leave and that is no longer the case,” an announcement Friday by Southwest’s Senior Vice President of Operations and Hospitality Steve Goldberg and Vice President and Chief People Officer Julie Weber said, according to a report by CNBC.

Southwest changed direction just one day after its employees gathered outside of the airline’s headquarters in Dallas to protest the company’s vaccine mandate.

Excerpt from CNBC reports:

Southwest Airlines has scrapped a plan to put unvaccinated employees who have applied for but haven’t received a religious or medical exemption on unpaid leave starting by a federal deadline in December.

Southwest’s senior vice president of operations and hospitality, Steve Goldberg, and Julie Weber, vice president and chief people officer, wrote to staff on Friday that if employees’ requests for an exemption haven’t been approved by Dec. 8, they could continue to work while following mask and distancing guidelines until the request has been reviewed.

The company is giving employees until Nov. 24 to finish their vaccinations or apply for an exemption. It will continue paying them while the company reviews their requests, and said it will allow those who are rejected to continue working “as we coordinate with them on meeting the requirements (vaccine or valid accommodation).”

“This is a change from what was previously communicated. Initially, we communicated that these Employees would be put on unpaid leave and that is no longer the case,” they wrote in the note, which was reviewed by CNBC.

Southwest confirmed the policy change, which comes just weeks before the deadline.
