Ford Motor Company Mandates COVID Vaccines for its Salaried Employers Only – Not Yet Applicable for Union Employees
Ford Motor Company is forcing its salaried employees to take the vaccine or risk losing their employment.
The New York Post is reporting:
Ford has become the first major US automaker to announce a COVID-19 vaccine mandate for all of its staff, joining a slew of other major companies that have already done so.
The automaker told its roughly 32,000 salaried employees about the mandate in a staff-wide note on Tuesday, giving workers until Dec. 8 to be fully vaccinated, CNBC reported.
The company will consider religious and medical exemptions for employees, a Ford spokesperson said.
But employees who refuse to get vaccinated and don’t have an approved religious or medical exemption will be put on paid leave for a maximum of 30 days.
