Vaccines

Friday, November 12, 2021
Brothers and Sisters:  We all have been inundated with vaccine issues related to Covid 19. I have heard from many of you about a vaccine mandate and want to assure you of the following:
 
We will continue to manage this as we have from the beginning. Our goal is to protect the health and safety of all members while protecting our rights and keeping all members working.
 
We encourage you to consult with your physician regarding vaccinations, and if vaccinated, please provide proof of vaccination if requested. This is important information needed as we let all companies know of our intent to negotiate dependent upon the final clarifications of the three executive orders issued. As you know, the rulings related to the three orders have not been finalized as of the writing of this article.
 

This issue should not be a "political" issue and we do not intend to make it one. We will continue to consult with our attorneys on the best course of action as it relates to any Guidance, State or Federal mandates and the application of our collective bargaining agreements while reserving our rights to file any charges related to this issue.
