Making it reasonable to require employees to be vaccinated as a condition of their employment?
I wasn't going to say anymore about this issue, but I'll answer your question as I understand it. When the federal Government mandated "some airport workers" these are those that fall under their jurisdiction, immigration, border control, quarantine, AFP, there may be others. It doesn't extend to the airport cafe and those business types.
To my knowledge the states haven't mandated anyone outside of their juristiction, health department employees, hospitals, those employed by the state. Note that not all the states have applied that particularly among their own hospitals. I have family in ICU and they have not been mandated. The appropriate way to do this is as an act of federal parliament, all of us including non citizen permanent residents.
If the Federal Government won't do it, what business does a Company/Business have doing it, hence the anti mandate argument. Do it right and you have my support. I don't mind a Company doing it for new employees.
Thats it from me on this issue.
Correction to Statement: Mandate for ICU staff in effect as of mid Sept, family member exempt as are those infected pre vaccine.
