Nearly 600 United Airlines employees face termination for defying vaccine mandate [View all]

From the article:

The carrier said it would start on Tuesday the process of firing 593 employees who decided not to get vaccinated.

"This was an incredibly difficult decision but keeping our team safe has always been our first priority," Chief Executive Scott Kirby and President Brett Hart told employees in a memo.

The company dismissed the notion that the vaccine requirement was deterring applicants for jobs at the air carrier.

United received 700 applications for about 400 job postings last month at a Denver career fair. Similarly, it has received more than 20,000 applications for about 2,000 open positions for flight attendants, the spokesperson said.

And that is how all companies should be doing it. This nonsense has gone on long enough and the stupid have been allowed to kill themselves and other at will for long enough. The small number of loons need to be kept out of normal society. I hate to be harsh but... Let them die alone.
