Businesses Ponder Vaccine Mandates

Businesses in both the United Kingdom and the USA are grappling with whether to require their workers to be vaccinated against the coronavirus.

The issue is coming to a head in the UK, wher vaccinations are well under way generally, CNN reports. The program is going so well that Prime Minister Boris Johnson recently revealed a schedule to remove most of the country from lockdown by summer – which will create additional pressure on businesses, especially public-facing ones.

A health care company and a plumbing maintenance firm both said they were seriously considering “no jab, no job” rules, but had not made a decision. Both said they would make exceptions for employees who had “good reasons” for declining the vaccine. The Confederation of British Industry, a unio that claims to have almost 200,000 members, has come out against vaccine mandates.

In the U.S., 70% of CEOs polled by the Yale Chief Executive Leadership Institute said they would be open to vaccine mandates. The CEO of United Airlines said he was considering a mandate, but added that it wouldn’t be the first and only: “We need others to show some leadership.”

Legal experts told CNN that requiring vaccinations as a condition of employment probably would be legal. However, no food companies so far have come out for vaccine mandates. Several are either providing vaccinations on-site or paying employees to get vaccinated.
