Thread: UA's 2200 Anti Vax Employees Win..Return back to work

United Airlines will let unvaccinated employees with religious or medical Covid-19 vaccine exemptions return to their former roles on March 28, in today's bite-sized hospital and health industry news from Illinois, New York, and Virginia.

• United Airlines announced that unvaccinated employees with religious or medical Covid-19 vaccine exemptions who were placed on unpaid leave or transitioned to noncustomer-facing roles will be allowed return to their former roles on March 28. Among the airline's 67,000 U.S. employees, roughly 2,200 claimed a religious or medical exemption to the company's vaccine mandate. United's decision to bring the unvaccinated employees back was largely based on declining Covid-19 cases following the omicron surge. However, the move could still be reversed if conditions worsen.
