Boeing says workers must get the COVID vaccine by Dec. 8
SEATTLE — The Boeing Co. has told employees they must be vaccinated against COVID-19 or possibly be fired.
The deadline for workers at the aerospace giant is Dec. 8, the company said in a statement Tuesday.
“To ensure compliance with President Biden’s executive order for federal contractors, Boeing is requiring its U.S.-based employees to either show proof of vaccination or have an approved reasonable accommodation (based on a disability or sincerely held religious belief) by Dec. 8,” the company said. “Boeing will continue to carefully monitor guidance from public health agencies, and requirements from federal, state and local governments to inform our COVID-19 policies. We continue to prioritize the health and safety of all of our employees.”
An internal company presentation viewed by The Seattle Times described the requirement starkly.
“Compliance with these requirements is a condition of employment,” the Boeing presentation said. “Employees who are unable to meet these requirements … may be released from the company.”
