About 1/3 of my workforce is unvaxxed

They will lose their jobs in December due to the federal mandate.

I will not be able to replace many of them or their skills.

The company and my plant will suffer.

None of these folks are the ones sucking at the government teat. They haven’t missed a day of work for Covid or abused our generous covid pay/attendance policy.

They’ve come to work and worn their masks and done their jobs.

We will reward them for this with a pink slip.
