‘Huge number’ of unvaccinated Delta workers got vax after $200 surcharge announcement

Well this seems sad for a news story i mean really your risking for $200 for a vax that probably isn't even working? is this how low have companies had gotten at the point.

That they are bribing people?

‘Huge number’ of unvaccinated Delta workers got vaccine after $200 surcharge announcement, official says

So you first bribe people into keeping their jobs for just 200 dollars that is nothing?

(NEXSTAR) – The chief health officer for Delta Air Lines said this week that the carrier’s decision to implement a $200 surcharge for unvaccinated employees has convinced a “huge” portion of the workforce to change their minds about the jab.

“Just within the two weeks of the announcement, we’ve seen nearly 20%, or one-fifth, of that 20,000 decide to get the vaccine,” said Ting. He added that Delta did not observe any turnover or resignations as a result of the new policy.

Because for some bribing works right? it would be ironic if they never actually give that much as they first claimed. Because that actually happens.

If the vax works and its safe and effective you wouldn't be needing the bribes nor the threats now it would be sad if more and more cases happen and the vaxs dont stop the spread just like what is happening in Israel.

200 dollars is nothing today.

That's just part of it. If the disease was as bad as portrayed, everyone would be lining up for the vaccines, even while they're experimental.

People get Flu shots voluntarily, and people will get Covid-19 shots voluntarily.

No need to force either one on the population.

The more they bribe or bully the people to take this vaccine, the more I distrust this whole thing. I am still neutral, if someone wants it or doesn't want it, It is their decision. I just think that the government agencies and president are purposely twisting the interpretation of evidence to fit their desired agenda. I really do not care for deceivers. I don't care if the vaccine is safe, deceiving people still is not right.

Some do. Some don't.

Mandatory vaccination requirements have become increasingly prevalent as the threat of an H1N1 pandemic has intensified. A number of hospitals across the country, including Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, Emory Hospital in Atlanta, and all 273 facilities of Hospital Corporation of America, have instituted such rules for their own personnel. Additional facilities may join them.

Losing $200 a month isn't enough money to get me to do something that I don't want to do, but maybe it is for a Delta flight attendant, who is only earning an average of $45,237.

Exactly. Bribing is wrong and it makes people more question if its actually safe you know?

Um, 4,000 of 91,000 employees as of 2019. It is not that large a number.

Yes they do. I was never threaten not to take a flu shot and no one cared.

Later in Court, the Delta $200 threat will be found unlawful and coercive 😃

Lucky you. Others are required to have a flu shot, particularly in the health care industry.

There were 20,000 Delta employees who were not already vaccinated when they made the mandate. The 4,000 is out of that 20,000 and not out of the total number of Delta employees.

The article from the OP says:

Prior to Bastian’s announcement, around 74% of Delta’s workforce had been vaccinated. That number now sits at around 78%. Approximately 20,000 Delta team members had not been vaccinated as of Aug. 25. Just within the two weeks of the announcement, we’ve seen nearly 20%, or one-fifth, of that 20,000 decide to get the vaccine.

Couldn't that be considered as coercion ?

I hope the Supreme Court will tie the many challenges to the vaccine mandate into a big case, rule it unconstitutional, and ship it back to the gestapos at the White House.

Indeed. "Get health insurance, or pay a fine", was removed from our lives for that reason.

But you still can’t legally drive without insurance. Mortgage insurance?

Well it's not enough money for me and I earn less than half of that. For me, I would either find another job or find a good street corner in this busy little rural community of approximately 1,400 people. Hmmm, a pudgy 60 year old might not rake in the money, but I'm sure it won't be because of my varicose veins, muffin top and thinning hair. It would probably be because I'm unvaccinated. Yeah, that's it. I would most likely have to wear a sign around my neck stating I'm unvaccinated.

This vaccine is broken and needs to be repeatedly fixed.
This sounds like the grounds to apply the Lemon Law.
