Delta Airline: no intake without vaccine
Delta said new hires will already have covid-19 vaccinated, although employees are not required to do so as they have made "great progress" towards herd immunity.
"This is an important move to protect Delta's people and customers by ensuring that the airline can operate safely when demand returns and as it accelerates through the recovery and into the future," the company said in a statement on Friday. The new policy will take effect on Monday.
Chief Executive Ed Bastian made public this week that 60% of the company's employees have received at least one dose of the vaccine, but expect to have staff fully vaccinated at a rate of 75% to 80% in the near future.
Spokesman Morgan Durrant said the current vaccination rate within the company represents "great progress in achieving herd immunity within our workforce."
Bastian acknowledged that it would be unfair to force current employees to get vaccinated if they have "some kind of philosophical problem" with this preventive system, but stressed, however, that employees who are not vaccinated could face restrictions, such as not being able to work on flights. international.
Delta, which has 75,000 employees, is taking a step up from other large companies because it has simply tried to incentivize employees to get vaccinated by giving them the ability to get injections during working hours or by offering bonuses for new hires. .
The Commission for Equal Employment Opportunities (EEOC) announced in December that companies can vaccinate employees, while allowing them the possibility of being exempted for reasons of religion or disability.
American Airlines also offered employees an extra day off next year for employees who receive vaccinations.
The new CDC guidance still requires masks when using means of transportation such as airplanes, despite the mandate being lifted for fully vaccinated people, indoors and out, unless required by the employer.
