Big Three US Automakers Agree To Not Mandate Vaccines For UAW Union Members

https://www.zerohedge.com/poli...es-uaw-union-members

Ford, General Motors and Stellantis have agreed the United Auto Workers union members will not be forced to take the mandatory vaccine as a condition of employment.

Additionally, the vaccine status of the workers will remain private with a policy of private and voluntary disclosure.

UAW – At a meeting Monday evening, the COVID-19 Joint Task Force, comprised of the UAW, Ford, General Motors and Stellantis, has aligned on a policy of voluntary and confidential disclosure of vaccination status for UAW members. Each company will provide additional communication to employees on how, where and when to report their vaccination status.

In addition to encouraging members to disclose their vaccination status, the Task Force continues to urge all members, coworkers, and their families to get vaccinated and get booster vaccinations against COVID-19, while understanding that there are personal reasons that may prevent some members from being vaccinated, such as health issues or religious beliefs.

After reviewing the status of CDC and OSHA guidelines, the Task Force also decided it is in the best interest of worker safety to continue masks in all worksites at this time. (read more)

This helps swing the pendulum back toward the American worker.

The only way the new/old African variant becomes a problem here is if we buy into this bullshit.

Or should we call it the Xi variant since they skipped the variant designation order.

So what do you think is more important to an automaker:

1) 10 ppl from the "paint design team" being out for 2 weeks?

2) 10 ppl from the "engine installation team" being out for 2 weeks.

Think about it...

The past few weeks, have noticed more and sheeple driving alone wearing masks, the most notable being an amazon semi driver all masked up alone.

Yesterday, we were out black friday shopping and saw something had not seen for a good while; a sheeple wearing TWO masks...

Regardless, it's escalated around here, including a fellow bicycling along Telegraph Road by himself and any number of sheeple crossing the road at stop lights.

Some employers are requiring employees who don't want to get the shot to wear two mask instead of the mandatory one mask.

The rules do not distinguish between if the employee works in a cell phone store or fixes the bulb on the top of the tower.

It may very well have been the case he was required to wear the mask while driving the semi alone. Regardless, it was quite something to see.

I remember seeing something about this a few weeks ago.

Amazon is installing high-tech cameras inside supplier-owned delivery vehicles. Workers say the cameras are a shocking invasion of privacy as well as a safety hazard.

I would say F-off. If it was my truck I wouldn’t accept those terms.

I agree. These folks have lost their minds for allowing this.

Here are some folks who have made COVID a profitable venture:
www.vaulthealth.com
From what I can research, one of their COVID tests costs 120 bucks.
And they claim to have provided 10 million tests.
Out of chaos comes opportunity. Vault appears to be all in on managing mandated testing for their clients.

You can go into Walgreens and buy a double test kit like I did for $23. Plenty accurate. There is no reason on earth a Covid test should cost north of $100. But like the “vaccines”, they’re “free” for everyone, right?

These companies are completely captive to Amazon. They have no other customers. If they don't play by Amazon's rules, they get cut off, and they go under.

So, no, they're not going to tell Amazon to fuck off. And there are a lot of workers in similar positions.

You’re probably right about Amazons stipulations but I would never own or work for such a company. With only one customer you practically invite this sort of thing.

^^^^^^^ My recently deceased best friend was a fuel delivery driver for the largest truck stop operator in the USA.

Not only was there a camera in the truck, there were actually 2, at least.

One camera was aimed forward to show what was happening in front of the rig, such as a possible accident or whatever.

Another camera was aimed directly at the drivers face. Read that again, aimed at the drivers face.

To top it all off, there was also a microphone that recorded everything that was said.

Not only were you video recorded, anything and everything you said was recorded.

All of these things were continuously sent from the truck to a collection location where they were archived and listened to. Trigger words brought quick attention.

His very first objection was about his personal privacy. He often made phone calls to his doctor, bank, financial advisor, etc etc etc.
He was told that the listing location (India I think) was totally trustworthy and for him not to worry about it.

Yeah. Pretty sobering, huh.

Nineteen
Eighty
Four...

We all have choices to make when selecting an employer/vocation.

Plenty of places to make a living as a professional driver right now where one call tell their employer what the rules will be and how much they will be paid.

Alex Berenson’s take on NY:

New York declares a health-care state of emergency over a Covid variant that doesn’t exist in the state
Guess what’s actually causing the crisis? Hint: it rhymes with “vaccine schmandate.”


Now this is a lie so brazen even Andrew Cuomo might hesitate to tell it.

New York’s new and unimproved governor, Kathy Hochul, last seen telling you to Get Vaxxed For Jesus (I kid you not), has now declared a “state of emergency” that will allow Health Department bureaucrats to block “non-urgent” medical procedures at hospitals. Because who needs a colonoscopy, anyway?

Hochul says the Xi - I mean Omicron, definitely not Xi! - variant is behind the emergency.

^^^^^^^
Oh...I'm sure our Harris County "Judge", the immature, ignorant, moronic, Leftist Progressive, Lena Hildago would try to one-up Hochul if she could. Thank the good Lord Gov. Abbott has pretty much put the kibosh on what that idiot has control to do with respect to the Scamdemic.

BTW...that position, though entitled with "Judge", has ZERO requirement to know the law in any form, depth, or fashion. It's just the Texas historical name given that position from way back when. I personally wish they would change the title to eliminate the term "Judge".

^^ I like the term.

"A great reason to get vaccinated." Scamdemic, indeed.
