Carhartt maintains vaccine mandate for workers

[butters]

Carhartt was steadfast in the face of some conservative backlash after stating its vaccine mandates for employees stood, despite the SCOTUS ruling, citing the health of their employees as the priority.

The company’s policy was initially met with pushback from some employees, specifically a group of workers in Kentucky. In November, a handful of workers at a plant in Hanson, Ky., said that while they weren’t against vaccines, they believed Carhartt crossed the line by making vaccination mandatory.

Some made baseless claims that the company’s policy was a form of “medical abuse,” but others pointed out that Carhartt had the right to require employees to get vaccinated.

“If you do not want to adhere to their policies, quit. This is a free market,” wrote conservative commentator Carmine Sabia. “In the same way I do not want the government mandating what we must do, we cannot mandate what a business can do.”

SCOTUS simply ruled the Govt couldn't mandate it for public health and safety...that OSHA didn't have that right. They have already ruled private companies have that right. This isn't news other than companies are telling their workers we don't want their labor if they don’t want to help keep the company a safe environment. Makes total sense. If you don't care about your workmates....you won't care about the product they produce. Why does American companies have poor quality? Simple....half of their labor are Republicans

Who ever works in manufacturing and cares about the product?

i'm well aware, though the numpties who are against private companies' vaccine mandates seem a tad confused.

more and more big companies are introducing/enforcing vaccine mandates. worldwide, the science backs them. for all the staff they might lose, and customers because of this mandate, there'll be other people who'll replace them, impressed with the company's vested interest in a healthy workforce.
