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.
How about permanently halting the mask mandate?
Hot about ending the mask mandate when Covid deaths drop below ten thousand a month.
Tripe. Its a bio weapon war, No Country has been able to establish a Virus So far 25 Countries have been taken to Court and Governments lost the case. Masks create bacterial lung infections and Fauci knew this . They want us dead or if you survive ,then you become their slaves We are dealing with Evil Covid was the excuse to dumb us all down, reset the global Financial Reset whereby we own nothing and thank them for teh ride, and launch the Bio weapons which will do teh job of killing off most of the humans With a name like Albert Hess, you should go straight back to Nazi Germany. America was built of Religious freedom and opportunity for all.
Why so soon?
?
There should be no mandates period!
Remember my body my choice???
That’s what I thought….
Yeah for abortion it’s my body my choice!But not the stupid vaccine oh sorry I meant vaccines!
How is it being tested for? The PCR test has been found to be worthless for diagnoses as reported by both the CDC and FDA.
The PCR test has about a 98% false positive rate.
Amtrak is not a major business.
It is amazing how these fools can write these pieces and not understand simple math. They state that 500 employees are not in compliance and that 97.3% are. If the 500 represent the 2.7% not in compliance it is easy to calculate there total employment is just over 18,000. That is a fairly large company but as you said, that is not major business. That is about the same number of employees you would find at a large major university such as Penn State. The University Education System is major business, but individual schools are not.
The current mandates are about control to usher in the new era where “the mark of the beast” will be implemented.
How many people use the Amtrax. the employees should work for LYFT
NO COMPANY OR HEALTH CARE UNIT…..HOSPITALS,ER’S, URGENTCARE, MAJOR OR OTHER BUSINESS…….SHOULD NOT EVEN BE LISTENING TO ANY MANDATES!!!!!!! THEY ARE “UNCONSITUTIONAL”!!!!!!!!! IF YOU ALL WANT ALL OF THIS TO “STOP”……STEP UP DEMAND RIGHTS????????? WHO IS THIS DEMENTED PERSON…..AND HANDLERS?????????? OF THE PUPPET???????
All Biden’s mandates do is set the country up for more unemployment, more welfare benefits and more hostility! The guy’s a train wreck!
Soooo ridiculous. This constant testing when we all know the tests are corrupt. So many have proved it. So many Countries have taken their Governments to Court and won their cases that they cannot isolate a virus It doesnt exist Because its a Bio weapon not a virus
