On Tuesday, Amtrak announced it is temporarily halting its employee vaccine requirement after a court decision blocked Biden’s vaccine mandate for federal contractors.

Fox Business reports:

Amtrak employees who have medical or religious accommodations will be allowed to continue working as long as they submit a negative COVID-19 test weekly or more frequently as required. Unvaccinated employees without an approved accommodation will have testing provided by Amtrak on a temporary basis, pending the outcome of the executive order litigation or further statutory, administrative or regulatory actions.

Those who are required to submit testing and fail to do so will be placed on an unpaid leave of absence initially. Prolonged failure to submit to testing will be considered insubordinate and potentially result in termination of employment.

Since establishing its vaccine mandate in August, approximately 95.7% of Amtrak’s workforce are either fully vaccinated or have an accommodation. When including employees who have reported getting at least one vaccine dose, the figure climbs to 97.3%.

“Currently, fewer than 500 active Amtrak employees are not in compliance with the company mandate,” Amtrak CEO Bill Flynn wrote in a memo to employees reviewed by FOX Business. “This is remarkable progress – and we anticipate that between now and Jan. 4, we will get even closer to a 100% vaccination rate, which remains our goal and our policy.”

President Biden has been handed a series of losses on his vaccine mandate for employees.
